• Programming of robot systems (Python, C/C++, Matlab with ROS)
  
• Controlling a wheeled mobile robot (Turtlebot): setting up a network, reading sensors, sending motor commands
• Simulation of a robot manipulator (visualization and motion planning)
• Robot vision: capture and process camera images with OpenCV and ROS (object detection, face recognition), SLAM with RGB-D sensor
• Building Matlab/Simulink real-time environment, communication, connection to ROS

Complementary knowledge

• Intro to ROS, Intro to communication (Ethernet, CAN, USB, SSH)
