Assignment to Modules

Further Information

Courses are together with exams the building blocks for modules. Please keep in mind that information on the contents, learning outcomes and, especially examination conditions are given on the module level only – see section "Assignment to Modules" above.

additional remarks Imagine that you are at the natural history museum. You wander around and take a look at different parts of the museum. Suddenly, a robot in the form of a long extinct species – the Dodo – moves towards you, starts talking to you and tells you about itself. This course covers constructing an autonomous, intelligent, walking, Dodo-like robot, which requires a combination of a wide spectrum of fields, including design, control, navigation, locomotion, perception and AI. During this laboratory course, the students will develop the necessary skills to design and construct various components of “Robo-Dodo”, as part of a long-term, iterative project. This laboratory aims at the design and construction of mechanisms and the development of control strategies for bipedal robots. The basic components developed in the laboratory “Dodo Alive! HW/SW Components Development” shall now be integrated into a prototype. The course is structured as follows: After some introductory classes, a practical phase will follow in which the students work closely together in interdisciplinary groups. The students will then be divided into groups focusing on the mechanism design, which encompasses the CAD design of the leg mechanism and other parts of the robot, or the control part, which includes locomotion control, trajectory planning and perception. The long-term goal is to bring the famous Dodo back to life within a collective effort.
