Computer Science and ICT, Data, AI

About this course

In this challenge based course you will be part of a team of students who choose a challenge or need that can be met using a digitally twinned autonomous system. The team will propose a technical solution and then scope a proof of concept. This course has a strong emphasis on project planning and collaboration skills.
This course has a strict cap on the number of students and is only available to EuroTeQ students, or those Tu/e students that are studying Bachelor Computer Science and meet the requirements set out by the responsible lecturer. MEET YOUR LECTURERS (Add video link)

Learning outcomes

Practice the development of a cyber-physical system for mobile robots, using digital twins technology as a team and in a project setting. Develop professional skills like technical writing and presenting, group work, peer-reviewing, and project planning and management.

Groups of about seven participants are formed in advance, aiming to have sufficient combined programming and design skills available in each group. Furthermore, when grouping students, we group them heterogeneously and based on their grades in the Object-Oriented Programming and Linear Algebra courses, preferably Java programming-2IP90 and linear algebra and applications-2DRR00.

Examination

Examination consists of a final presentation, final report and a final code implementation as well as peer feedback/ peer review

Course requirements

Programming experience OR systems design OR software engineering

Activities

For the first seven weeks of the course you will work on your projects using virtual twins, but in the final week of the course come to the TU/e campus to implement your work in our laboratory using Turtlebots. At the end of this week you will present the final implementation. There will be weekly online group meetings with all student teams, and hybrid support lectures (not every week). Teams will also have access to technical support. EuroTeQ students should be available for online attendance at lectures and group meetings at these times: (From 31 August until 16 Oct) Mondays 08:45-12:30 Thursdays 13:30-17:15 The Mandatory On-campus week is scheduled from 19 - 23 October (Please check with your home university if scholarships is available for your travel to Eindhoven)
