Can develop, plan, execute and manage engineering projects at the level of a starting professional.
The student is responsible for the completion of the project and therefore has to develop, plan, execute and manage the project within the allocated resources and time.
Having a creative problem-solving attitude and a continuous-learning mindset while making result-driven and evidence-based decisions.
Because the project approach is not imposed, the students are in full control of the project methodology, planning, execution and reporting. The students will need to find the right balance between following established methodologies (e.g. re-using, adapting or merging existing code) developing new methodologies and code themselves. The student teams will independently search for available resources (tutorials, sample code) that can be used to speed up the project’s completion. They will have to judge the usefulness of these resources and to what extent they need to be adapted to the project. At the same time, the students will be encouraged to try new approaches (continuous-learning mindset) which may be more effective solutions to their specific problem. In order to complete the project successfully and in time, the student will therefore need to balance creative problem-solving with result-driven and evidence-based decisions.
Having a critical attitude towards one's own results and those of others.
In the group project, all students are responsible for the outcome of their project. Obtaining a good result requires them to be critical towards the results of their peers.
Being able to work with third-party robot simulation and control software
The student will implement a real-world robotic application in third-party robot simulation and control software.
Being conscious and having a basic understanding of scientific disciplines outside the standard curriculum with relevance for robotics.
The student is able to work with third-party robot simulation and control software.
The student will implement a real-world robotic application in third-party robot simulation and control software.
Having the skills needed to implement a real-world robotic task.
The students will acquire knowledge and skills related to the selection and reading of sensors and the programming and control of robots.
Being able to openly engage in meaningful discussions about robotics and their impact on society.
The students are encouraged to articulate their opinions about contemporary technologies used in the field of robotics and their impact on society, today as well as in the future. They are willing to openly engage in discussions with (guest) lecturers and their fellow students.
The student can conceive, plan and execute a research project, based on an analysis of its objectives and existing knowledge.
This competence is acquired in the project, where the students will implement a real-world robotic application in simulation. Only the project objective and relevant constraints will be defined. It is up to the students to reformulate this high-level engineering problem into a set of subtasks and ensure that these are all implemented correctly.
Being able to correctly report on research or design results in the form of a technical report.
The students make a report about their group project.
Being able to present and defend results in a scientifically sound way, using contemporary communication tools, for a national as well as for an international professional or lay audience.
The students present their project to the teaching team and the other students. After the presentation they have to answer questions.
Having the flexibility and adaptability to work in a team.
The students do the project in small groups, and hence have to collaborate as a team.
The final grade is composed based on the following categories:
Other Exam determines 100% of the final mark.
Within the Other Exam category, the following assignments need to be completed:
