Autonomous Robot Navigation Seminar

Tutor: Eduardo Ferrera Nowadays, mobile robots are used in many applications, such as rescue missions, surveillance or people assistance. In these applications, robots usually need to operate in unknown environments, so they need to obtain information with their sensors and take intelligent decisions. In general, they proceed in a loop […]

Wireless Sensor Network Seminar

Tutor: Dr. Matteo Ceriotti, Dr. Chia-Yen Shih This seminar aims to familiarize student with important research topics in Wireless Sensor Networks. The covered topics include: routing, localization, sensing coverage and communication connectivity, multi-channel communication, sensor networks simulation, modeling techniques on radio models, mobility models and sensing modalities, camera sensor networks. This […]

Wireless Sensor Network Application Development Project

Tutor: Dr. Matteo Ceriotti, Dr. Chia-Yen Shih Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have been widely deployed in many application domains including environmental monitoring, surveillance, healthcare, automation control and more. A typical WSN consists of a set of low-powered and inexpensive embedded sensor devices with specific sensing modalities and with computation as well […]

Case Study: Location-based Services

Lecturer: Dr. Marcus Handte This case study covers fundamental concepts related to the development of location-based services from a theoretical and practical perspective. During the first half of the semester, basic models, algorithms, data structures and applications are introduced in a series of lectures with associated programming exercises. During the […]

Sensor Networks

Lecturer: Prof. Dr. Pedro José Marrón, Exercises: Robert Sauter This lecture describes the fundamental concepts of sensor networks and how they differ from traditional networked systems that do not take energy and resource constraints into account. During the experiments, the students will deal with real-world deployments of sensor networks and […]
