Overview
This Summer School is all about engineering, controlling and programming robots. First you gain fundamental theoretical knowledge in robotics and then apply your skills in lab classes at RWTH Aachen University. You solve classical problems in robotics like localization and navigation and make use of simulations.
Programming, path planning, trajectory planning, mapping and object manipulation are part of this program. Receive information on industrial applications and see how stationary and mobile robots move because of your programming.
This course is highly interactive and contain a lot of intensive and fun teamwork.

Programme Structure
Academic content
This summer school programme allows an in-depth and interactive insight to topics of future robotics while you learn about engineering, controlling and programming. The lectures introduce fundamental theoretical knowledge in robotics, and they are complemented by lab classes, in which students apply their acquired knowledge in practical projects.
You will solve classical problems in robotics, not only through simulations but also by discussing together how to programme stationary and mobile robots. You will learn about programming, path planning, trajectory planning, mapping and object manipulation, and you will receive information on industrial applications. Classical problems of robotics like localisation and navigation will be solved, and you will achieve an understanding of how to deal with insecurities.
