Content
This course gives an introduction to robotics, with a particular interest in humanoid robots. It presents different methods for programming robots to perform tasks that involve sensory-motor interactions. The participants of the course will have the opportunity to apply their knowledge in the Praktikum Robotik and program robots for different tasks.
