Weekly schedule

There are two lessons per week. The schedule is as follows:

The course includes 6 lessons held by Prof. Howard Li. The lessons will be held during one single week for organisational reasons. The schedule of the lessons is the following:

The Seminar Room Magenta is located at the D floor in the area with the laboratories of Electronics.

Short instructions to reach the Seminar Room:

Don’t use neither Bug 1 or Bug 2 algorithms: you are on a 3D environment!

Organization of the exam

The exam consists of a test regarding the topics covered during the course. The test will be delivered through the Kiro platform in any case. For this reason, if the exam is sustained in presence, it will be done in in the computer classrooms. The duration of the test is 2 hours.

The slides linked in this page contain all the material that is necessary for preparing the exam.

Further information regarding the exam:

  1. The topics of the seminars from Prof. Howard Li will be subject of open questions or exercises at the exam.
  2. The slides on sensors that are available online cover some topics that will not be explained during the lessons. These topics WILL NOT BE subject of questions or exercises at the exam.

Slides

The didactic material is based on the slides shown during lessons. Additional material may be made available during the course.

ATTENTION: since slight changes to the slides are possible, it is recommended to periodically check this site for updates. The date indicated for each presentation represents the latest update of the corresponding file.
