Topics in Artificial Intelligence and Robotics - Spring 2013
Robot Building Lab and Competition
BGU Computer Science Department
Description of the course
This course is one of the mini-project courses, of which 2 are required
to meet the undergraduate project requirement. The goal here is to gain
hands-on experience in designing, constructing, and programming robots.
The project involves quite a bit of real-time programming issues,
as well as interface to sensors and actuators.
Students participating in the course will be working in groups of
4 people, where each group will design, construct, and program
a robot using the LEGO-based robot kit. Groups will then compete
in the robot competition near the end of the semester.
