Robots are complex systems containing a variety of sensors, actuators and algorithms that link them together to interpret the environment, model it, plan movements or manipulate it.

Developing software for these systems is therefore difficult, and approaches enabling the abstraction from specific hardware or reusing existing components are being developed to simplify the task. Algorithms and their proofs of good functioning, in the presence of the many uncertainties due to sensors and actuators, are also major issues in drone development.

Quota: 18 students;

after a common core of around 4 sessions, sub-groups will be organized according to project choices, and a possible different direction on vision and mapping issues, or modeling, control, planning and guaranteed simulation.
