►Preparation for next class

  • In AuRo we will study computational principles of autonomous robots. On the practical side we will introduce ourselves to ROS — a framework for robot software using Turtlebot3s.

    This course will be held by me, Gökçe

    Class Time & Room

    Until seven-day infection count falls under 35 only-online classes.

    Thursdays: 14:00 - 15:30 lecture in K210, 15:50 - 19:00 lab in J103

    📡Online Class room

    In case of technical difficulties with our online classroom: Fallback online classroom

    Remote Desktop for ROS

    For the lab exercises use joan.th-deg.de. To create the remote desktop connection provide your university credentials (not your email), then click Connect. The connection is successful when you see a window named Terminal.

    Other applications like text editor or browser you find by clicking on the menu icon above.

    Do not forget to run rosenv each time you want to run ROS applications on a newly opened terminal.

    Copying some text from outside of the remote desktop and pasting it to the remote desktop does not work reliably on Firefox. Either start a browser on the remote desktop or use Chrome.

    Use TB3 template for programming the TB3.

    Class Recordings

    Each recording with annotated PDFs should be available in the evening after the class in our 📡 Online classroom -> room recordings

    The recording for 14th January is in Fallback online classroom

    Textbook & slides

    • slides as PDF - updated regularly
    • slides as HTML - useful for the lab. Compact and copy paste is more convenient. Click on the relevant rst file.

    Most of my lecture notes are based on Prof. Nikolaus Correll's book — Introduction to Autonomous Robots.

    Class style

    Each week we will have one lecture with everyone together and two labs with smaller groups. Each week we will discuss the slides together. The slides have exercises poured in between which will motivate discussions. At the end of most slidesets you will find exercises. To the end of the class we will discuss your questions about these exercises.

    The lectures will be seminar-like, which means that our class involves discussions and interactions rather than only lecturing. So how successful we will use our time depends also on you. I expect that you prepare the scheduled content of the lectures before the class and come with questions.

    Debates

    To the end of the semester we will have group debates. See Debates section for details.

    Questions

    Please refrain from mailing me directly if you have a question that could be interesting also for others. Use Moodleoverflow:
