Provide students with an awareness and basic training on technical tools that can be used in robotics and autonomous systems research, introduce the concept of responsible innovation in relation to RAS research and provide relevant examples of RAS challenges from end users. The unit will also provide refresher training on core foundational skills for robotics, especially mathematics and computing.
On successful completion of this unit, students will be able to:
10 x 1-day training sessions organized as 5 x 2-day workshops on relevant topics (60 hours)
Reading and self-study preparatory assignments (e.g. online programming tutorials or homework problem sheets) will be set in advance, totalling approx. 6 hours per workshop (90 hours).
Online reflective account assignment sized to require 10 hours total.
30%: In-workshop exercises [ILOs 1,2]
20%: Participation in workshops [ILOs 3,4]
50%: individual reflective account of training experience, including critical review of the tools encountered and frameworks introduced, assessed through an structured set of online questions demanding text responses [ILOs 1,2,3,4]
