Anotation:
The course aims to acquaint students with the use of planning approaches and decision-making techniques for autonomous robotic systems. Students in the course will use the knowledge of motion planning algorithms with the focus on randomized sampling-based algorithms and their theoretical properties. The further topic deals with employing the planning methods in the data collection missions such as environment monitoring, coverage, surveillance and inspections tasks where the motion planning is embedded into variants of the combinatorial routing problems as robotic variants of the traveling salesman problem, which is called the sequencing tasks in robotics. The next part of the course is dedicated to a discussion of robotic information gathering problems where on-line decision making has to be made during the mission. Informative adaptive path planning algorithms and existing solutions will be discussed. The last part of the course is dedicated to planning with uncertainty and sequential decision-making under uncertainty. The course will be composed of lectures providing an introduction to the topics and reading groups where students will be assigned state-of-the-art papers and present them to the group.
