======= Labs =======



===== Outline =====
Labs consist of 11 regular labs intended for practical exercises and last two labs are intended for demonstrations of the semestral work on the real TurtleBots. Active participation in the regular labs is mandatory. The content of regular labs is the implementation of algorithms, which solve well defined sub-problems of the semestral work such as localization, mapping and planning (see the program for details). Most of the regular labs are accompanied by homework. If a homework is uploaded after the deadline, it is rewarded by lower amount of points, proportional to the delay. [[ semestral_work | Semestral work ]] deadline is before the beginning of the labs in the 13th week for simulation part. If the solution of the semestral work is uploaded after the deadline, it is rewarded by 0 points. Both homework and semestral work should be uploaded via the [[https://cw.felk.cvut.cz/upload/|upload system]]. Practical part of the semestral work will be demonstrated in labs during the last two weeks of the semester. Uploading your own solution of homework and the semestral work (which satisfy minimum requirements - it does what it should do) is a mandatory credit requirement. Homework and the semestral work can be solved either using [[ ros | your own laptop ]] or using [[ turtlebots#working_with_turtlebots_from_lab_desktop_computers | the workstations in E130 lab or in E132 classroom ]].

You can collect up to 50 points for the labs: 30 points for homeworks (5 points each x 6), 10 points for semestral work in simulation and 10 points for semestral work on real robots.

<note>We will also announce various options how to get a few bonus points during the semester.</note>
