The course focuses on “human-centered robotics”: humanoid robots and human-robot interaction. Motivated by the vision of robot companions in our homes, this course introduces humanoid robot technology and its specific challenges and opportunities: (i) design, kinematics and inverse kinematics of humanoids, (ii) multimodal sensing - vision, touch, hearing, inertial sensing, etc., (iii) walking and balancing, and (ii) grasping. The second part of the course centers on human-robot interaction (HRI), which includes physical HRI (safety aspects, collaborative robots) and cognitive/social HRI - how to design robots and behaviors to be acceptable for people.

===== Prerequisites =====
Ability to write computer programs in C++, Matlab, and Python. Basic knowledge of robot kinematics in the span of bachelor course B3B33ROB1.

===== Assessment =====
The final assesment will be composed of two components: lab assignments and final exam.

==== Lab assignments ====
50 points for homework (assignments during comp. labs)
  * At least 25 points for the homework (lab assignments) are needed before going to the final exam.

==== Final exam ====
Dates:
  * Thursday 8.6.2023, 9-11am, KN:E-128
  * Friday 16.6.2023, 9-11am, KN:E-126 

The final exam is worth 50 points. Minimum for a non-F grade is 20 points from the final exam.

Note that that you will need to fulfill the criteria specified above - collect points for assignments during the semester. Otherwise, you will not be allowed to take the final exam.

The exam will be:
  * 90 minutes in duration
  * a written exam
  * will **not** be open book
  * in English. If you feel more comfortable, you can answer in Czech.
 
Calculators will not be needed.

Tips for exam preparation:
  * Attend lectures, make notes into lecture slides, ask questions.
  * Attend the labs and study there materials.
  * Question types from homework may appear on the exam.  

==== Grading ====
