Sustainable Development Goals
Learning Goals
This course is aimed at students who wish to enter the systems area
for robotics.
A practical introduction based on the relevant systems is
treatment of specific problems in this area and using the tools
available. There are a number of problems that can be
Specific problems of computational systems for robotics.
How to integrate the necessary computer components, but
different, for robotics? What type of components or subsystems
are required? How to support desirable features
such as modularity, reuse, etc? How to communicate with
different physical robots?
Robotics specific problems: Perception, performance and behavior.
How does a robot sense and analyze its environment? As
interacts with other elements present in this environment? As
choose which actions to take and how to follow the progress of
your goals?
Common tasks in the development of robotics.

Teaching Methods
Theoretical classes deal with the formal and general
different problems indicated in the learning objectives, as if they were
related to the previous matter, because they are relevant to robotics and
how they are treated. In practical classes these problems are revisited in the
framework of an appropriate computer system and resolved in examples
illustrative.
Each student is evaluated through a comprehensive,
implementation of a routine and able to work in a robot inserted in a
physical or simulated environment.
