Short course description

Course objectives This course provides an introduction to artificial intelligence from the perspective of robotics. Four parts are distinguished: logical systems, problem solving and planing, Bayesian networks and machine learning. Topics include: agent systems, inference, search, planing, Bayesian networks, dynamic Bayesian networks, reinforcement learning, Bayesian learning.

Prerequisities
Students are expected to have the following background:

Course materials
Lecture notes will be posted periodically on the course web site. Selected chapters from the textbook below are recommended as optional reading.

Marks and Grading

Assessment will be marked out of a hundred. The marks equate to ECTS grades as given below:
ECTS Grade A B C D E F/FX
mark 100- 90 89-80 79-70 69-65 64-60 59 or less
Students are collecting assessment points. They come partly from a continuous assessment in the semester time and from a final exam. The assessment method is: In addition to satisfying the above assessment requirements, each student must satisfy the attendance requirements. There is an obligatory attendance of tutorial and an optional attendance of the lecture. The Pass mark for this course will be set at 60 pts. Credits will be awarded to candidates who pass this course.
