Content

The lecture "Biologically Motivated Robots" (BioBots) deals with systems whose mechanical construction, sensor concepts, and control methods have been inspired by nature. The following topics will be covered:

  • Status of research and requirements for the development of BioBots
  • Sensor systems, sensor fusion and driving concepts
  • Adaptive control (neural networks, fuzzy-control, Reinforcement-Learning, genetic algorithms and neuro-oscillators) and Behaviour based control architectures
  • Skills of humanoid robots (locomotion, manipulation, mimics, perception, interaction)
  • Application for BioBot

This course is partly build upon the lecture "Foundations of Robotics". The content of this lecture is assumed to be well known.

Requierment

  • Bachelor degreein computer science
  • Coremodule of theLGEmbedded Systems and Robotics

Precondition for examination

  • Exercises
  • Final oral examination
