You are interested in working with real robots and want to understand how such machines ‘learn’?

This project will enable you to dig into the fascinating world of robot learning.

You will work alone or in a team on modern, state-of-the art hardware at the Chair of CPS.

We offer complex robotic systems, powerful PCs and GPU clusters to work with.

The course provides a structured and well motivated overview over modern techniques and tools which enable the students to define learning problems in Cyber-Physical-Systems. 

Note that offer two courses, 190.014 and 190.019. You may select two project topics or continue your project in the second course.

Selected Topics (Many more are available upon request)

Tasks

  • Select a topic from the presented topics at the CPS chair 
  • Build a team of 3-4 students.
  • Send an E-Mail with all details (topic, members) to the supervisor (E-Mails are on the CPS webpage).
  • Keep track of your tasks and working hours (spreadsheet with tasks, hours per day, and members).
  • Send a 1-page concept of your project (tasks, outcomes, milestones, est. work hours, meetings with the supervisor) to us.
  • Create a git repository on our studgit.cps.unileoben.ac.at
  • Implement your project.
  • Write a readme AND a wiki in the git repository. Dokument how you used AI tools like chatGPT. Translation and spelling tools can be neglected. 
  • Create slides to present your work at 24.06.2024 12:00-15:00 HS Thermoprozesstechnik

Grading

  • 80 points for the project results (code, effort, team management, git readme, and git wiki).
  • 20 points for the final presentation (20 min per group + 5 min. questions).
  • up to 20 bonus points for extraordinary efforts.
