Welcome to the course "Robotics and Internet of Things"!
The course is developed in the frame of the Erasmus+ project "Challenge Based Learning in AI Enhanced Digital Transformation Curricular" (ASSISTANT).
Relevance: Robotics and Internet of Things (IoT) are changing more and more all areas of life. Automation and real-time data exchange enable smart solutions in healthcare, manufacturing, logistics and many other areas by increasing efficiency, precision and interconnectivity. However, these technologies also pose significant risks, such as privacy invasion, security threats, and potential job loss. To harness the transformative potential of Robotics and IoT, it is therefore crucial to understand their risks and to practice a responsible and ethical approach.
Objective: the course aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of IoT and Robotics, their different fields of applications, ethical implications, technical foundation and basic skills to design and model IoT and Robotics solutions.
Learning outcome: By the end of the course, students will have acquired sufficient knowledge of Robotics and the Internet of Things, enabling them to use these key technologies of the 21st century to solve challenging problems.In particular, students will be able to:
- Define the IoT and Robotics, including their main concepts and questions.
- Identify the various application fields of the IoT and Robotics.
- Understand the underlying principles of IoT and Robotics technologies.
- Analyze and reflect on ethical issues related to IoT and Robotics.
- Conceptualize, design, and model a user-centered IoT/robotic solution based on a case study.
- Optional: Build and test a prototype for IoT and robotics solutions.
Workload: 40 hours
Duration: 3 months.
