Cursusdoelen
  • Design an appropriate sensor system and select techniques to explore unknown spaces
  • Appraise the use of different map representations in a given scenario
  • Apply the appropriate coordinate frames and techniques from robot perception to robot navigation, e.g., path planning
  • Analyse and evaluate foundations of cognitive architectures
  • Design ontologies for robot behavior in a given environment
  • Evaluate the error components of navigation systems and compute an overall accuracy
Inhoud
  • Models of semantic spaces
  • Computational forms of reasoning
  • Cognitive aspects of human-robot interaction
  • Sensors, Sensor properties, Error sources
  • Coordinate frames and transformation – Earth inertial, ECEF, navigation, body
  • Map representations, scan matching, next best view planning, loop closure
  • ICP-SLAM, GraphSLAM, Continuous-time SLAM
  • Inertial navigation, Lidar-inertial sensor fusion (practical)
  • Multi-sensor systems, Sensor fusion basics, Complementary characteristics of sensors
  • Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) – principles of pseudo range and carrier phase measurements, error components, measurement modes
  • Pathfinding
  • Application examples

Assessment
Written exam (80%, minimum grade 5.0)
Lidar-inertial practical & assignment (20%, minimum grade 5.0) 
2x individual Essay on robot cognition (pass/fail) 

Additional information
Implementation of CBL: students will be asked to design the perception, cognition, and navigation functionality for exploration of an assigned target domain (or space).
Implementation of ELSE: Given a specific application, e.g., one designed in the CBL process, special emphasis is given to the legal issues related to responsibility in interaction with humans.
