2400193 – Praktikum: Human-Centred Robotics Projects

Human-centered robots are robots that directly interact with humans or support humans in their motions. This includes humanoid robots, but also wearable robots (exoskeletons and prostheses) or external physical assistive devices. In this practical course, students learn how to implement theoretical knowledge about human-centered robots and use it to solve a given task based on a special project with robot hardware. Projects can either focus on code development for a given hardware or on the development or modification of robot hardware along with the basic code. Students learn about the challenges of working with real robot hardware vs model computations, and about working principles and practical implementation of sensors and actuators. Limited number of projects and participants. Specific project topics will be different each term and will be announced in a presentation during the first semester week. In WS 2024/25, the topics will be presented on Wedensday, Oct 23, 2024 at 15:45 in seminar room 2 in InformatiKOM 1. Students registering in ILIAS or declaring interest by email will be informed about updates.
