Abstract

The category of "Laboratory Courses, Projects, Seminars" includes courses and laboratories in various formats designed to impart practical knowledge and skills. Moreover, these classes encourage independent experimentation and design, allow for explorative learning and teach the methodology of project work.

Objective

"RoboCup: Learning and Control" is jointly offered by Prof. John Lygeros (IfA), Prof. Luc Van Gool (CVL) and Prof. Fisher Yu (CVL). RoboCup is a tournament where teams of autonomous robots compete in soccer matches against each other. The ETH team NomadZ ( https://robocup.ethz.ch/ ) plays in the Standard Platform League with a team of humanoid NAO robots. The focus lies on developing robust and efficient algorithms for vision, control and behavior. The main objective of this course is for students to become familiar with theoretical aspects currently in the spotlight of RoboCup. This is accomplished by a combination of theory sessions, related student exercise sets and programming projects in MATLAB, Python, and C++. The topics cover fundamental topics on data-driven learning and control.
