Presentation
This course aims to study the multidisciplinary area of Robotics, namely the set of subjects that come together in the development of a robot from scratch. It is intended that students: Acquire and / or deepen knowledge about manipulation robotics, offline programming, offline simulation, online simulation, etc. Obtain knowledge in the construction, programming and optimization of mobile robotics models that allow the autonomous performance of some activities. In the end, students should be able to actively intervene in this area, promoting solutions, but also at the technical and project level. The course includes a series of practical assignments, allowing students to perform some of the techniques covered

A nota de avaliação contínua corresponderá à média ponderada, arredondada para a decima, das notas das apresentações orais dos trabalhos de simulação em webots e dos trabalhos de acordo com a seguinte ponderação: 25% para o exame, 5% para cada trabalho no simulador webots, 20% para o projecto intercalar e 30% para o projecto final. Para obter aprovação na disciplina a nota mínima média dos trabalhos individuais é de 9 valores e a nota mínima média dos trabalhos é 9 valores. Cada trabalho de simulação em webots, assim como o projecto intercalar e o projecto final têm uma sessão de discussão oral, com uma ponderação de 55% na nota de cada trabalho.
