Each student will undertake an individual case-study project that analyzes the industrial impact of a chosen development in robotics and autonomous systems, e.g. a new technology or capability. Use cases and project objectives will be proposed by FARSCOPE-TU partners and developed in conjunction with FARSCOPE-TU supervisors in the lead-up to the project itself. Each project will be supervised jointly by a partner and an academic supervisor. Hardware development is beyond the scope for this short project, but modelling and simulation are expected, as is assessment of operational impact in an end-user setting.
On successful completion of this unit, students will be able to:
This unit is primarily experiential. All projects will be supervised by an academic and industry partner. After an initial introduction to the problem, students will manage their own activities, with weekly supervisory meetings.
50%: Presentation of findings (approx. half an hour plus questions to audience of peers and sponsors) [ILOs 1,4,5]
50%: Critical review of the potential impact, positive and negative, of robotics and autonomous systems in the context of the project (approx. 4-page report with set questioning brief and assessment criteria) [ILOs 1,2,3,4,5]
If this unit has a Resource List, you will normally find a link to it in the Blackboard area for the unit. Sometimes there will be a separate link for each weekly topic.
If you are unable to access a list through Blackboard, you can also find it via the Resource Lists homepage. Search for the list by the unit name or code (e.g. AENGM0038).
How much time the unit requires
Each credit equates to 10 hours of total student input. For example a 20 credit unit will take you 200 hours
of study to complete. Your total learning time is made up of contact time, directed learning tasks,
independent learning and assessment activity.
See the Faculty workload statement relating to this unit for more information.
Assessment
The Board of Examiners will consider all cases where students have failed or not completed the assessments required for credit.
The Board considers each student's outcomes across all the units which contribute to each year's programme of study. If you have self-certificated your absence from an
assessment, you will normally be required to complete it the next time it runs (this is usually in the next assessment period).
The Board of Examiners will take into account any extenuating circumstances and operates
within the Regulations and Code of Practice for Taught Programmes.
