Tutorial 1: Mobile Robotics

The goal of this course is to present the topic of mobile robotics, including the design difficulties and challenges. Participants will be presented to the main design tools currently adopted. The topics to be addressed are: terrestrial mobile robots, unmanned aerial vehicles, submarine vehicles, architectures, movement control techniques, behavior and perception, applications, navigation and location (mapping, SLAM, sensors fusion, and simulation), cooperation (architectures, planning, and supervision), and platforms (operating systems, platforms, and sensors).
