Teaching method
The theoretical component is given through lectures with discussion of concepts.
In the lab component, students are asked to develop prototypes for control and intelligent supervision of some hardware kits available in the lab (Automatic warehouse, Automatic car washing system, etc.). This part is preceded by some tutorials on the technologies to be used, after which the students develop the required systems guided by the professor.
For the machine learning part a series of exercises with different algorithms are performed.
Evaluation method
The evaluation of the theoretical component is continuous, through 1 tests - Theoretical Grade (TG).
The practical component is evaluated on the basis of the work performed, associated reports and their presentation / discussion - Practical Grade (PG).
Final classification is given by FC = TG * 0.5 + PG * 0.5
Required minimal grade in each component 9.5
