Students projects

� Students can organize in groups (max 3 people) to develop a

project and present written reports (or slides) to be discusses

orally

� Project groups can develop

� real robot prototypes (self-built, Lego, Arduino, NAO, Roomba,

etc.)

� simulated systems proposed in the Lab (Matlab, � simulated systems proposed in the Lab (Matlab,

Simulink/SimMechanics, V-Rep, etc.)

� theoretical studies on topics not developed during the course

Basilio Bona 6ROBOTICS 01PEEQW

Student projects

� Students can also join academic student teams that manage

complex projects (see separate slides)

� All activities must produce written/slides reports to be

discussed in the same way as the previous ones

� Student groups are listed here

� Student groups related to robotics are

� Robotica@Polito

� D.I.A.N.A.

� Fused

Online video courses

� Following online video

courses is encouraged, but

does not count for the final

mark

� One of the most appreciated

online video course is that of online video course is that of

professor Khatib, Stanford

University
