AE3M33UI: Artificial Intelligence

The course provides theoretically deeper knowledge of artificial intelligence in the range required by the Robotics branch of study. It consists of several parts: selected topics in pattern recognition and machine learning, basics of multiagent systems theory, and artificial life. The course emphasizes the relation of theoretical foundations and applications.

• Master study program Cybernetics and robotics, compulsory course of Robotics branch.
• The course is finished with an assessment and an exam.
• After completion of this course, students get 6 credits.
• This corresponds to 2 hours of lecture, 2 hours of excercises and 6 hours of home work each week!
• The official course description: A3M33UI, AE3M33UI
• Lectures, Exercises, Tasks
• Schedule A3M33UI, AE3M33UI
• Discussion forum
• Upload system

• We will tolerate at most 2 absences.
• In both parts of the semester (machine learning, multiagent systems), students can gain at most 20 points, i.e. 40 points in total.
  • Each part will contain 1 or more evaluated assignments (homeworks); students must hand in their solutions (report and/or program code).
  • Late policy: late solutions will be penalized by 4 points for each started week of delay.
• Students must get at least 20 points, i.e. at least 10 points from each part.

During the semester, students can get at most 100 points: 40 points for task solutions and 60 points for exam. To successfully pass the exam, students need to get at least 30 points out of 60, i.e. 50 %.

• Example of exam for the machine learning part (Česky, English)
• Example of exam for the intelligent agents part (Česky, English)
