Course evaluation is composed by two parts: | Course evaluation is composed by two parts: | ||

− | * A home project in simulation practicing the topics of the course graded up to | + | * A home project in simulation practicing the topics of the course graded up to 6/32 |
− | + | The final score will sum the grade of the written exam and the grade of the home project. | |
− | + | ===Course Project (i.e., the two [2] homeworks)=== | |
− | + | In the course project, you will use [http://www.ros.org/ ROS] to develop a simple autonomous mobile robot performing simple mapping, localization, and navigation task. The project requires some coding either in C++ / Python following what will be presented during the lectures (we suggest using C++ as it will be the language used in class). The project will be presented in two (2) parts you have about one month to do each. Details will follow. | |
− | + | We checked and found solutions to use ROS on all operating systems. We provide a recap on how you can install ROS on your machine. Keep in mind that the most user-friendly solution is to have a native ubuntu 20.04-ros Noetic installation. Nevertheless, the other solution should work fine for the course. | |
+ | |||
+ | The first lab we will give you details on the system setup! | ||
+ | <!-- | ||
+ | =====Linux===== | ||
+ | If you have Ubuntu 20.04 simply install ROS Noetic using [http://wiki.ros.org/noetic/Installation/Ubuntu the official guide] | ||
+ | If you have a different Linux distro, you can use [https://github.com/89luca89/distrobox#installation distrobox] and follow the slides. | ||
+ | For distrobox you can use the image provided which already has most packages installed (smentasti/robotics:latest). If you get errors, you can start from clean ubuntu and then install ROS inside, following the official guide. To do so, you use the command "distrobox create robotics -i ubuntu:20.04" then enter the distrobox "distrobox enter robotics" and install ROS inside. | ||
+ | |||
+ | =====MacOS===== | ||
+ | You can try dual-boot, and then follow Linux system instruction | ||
+ | You can try distrobox (experimental) following instructions above | ||
+ | You can use a pure docker system. To do so, [https://docs.docker.com/desktop/install/mac-install/ install docker] and make sure it is working by running the hello world image, using the command "docker run hello-world". Then compile the robotics course image using the provided Dockerfile (instructions on the slides) | ||
+ | |||
+ | =====Windows===== | ||
+ | You can try dual-boot, and then follow Linux system instruction | ||
+ | You can use a pure docker system. To do so, [https://docs.docker.com/desktop/install/windows-install/ install docker].It requires the windows linux subsystem installed. If you don't have it, when you open the Docker Desktop program you will be prompted with a message with the command you have to run in a terminal to install it, then make sure it is working by running the hello world image, using the command "docker run hello-world" in a terminal. Finally, compile the robotics course image using the provided Dockerfile (instructions on the slides) | ||
+ | |||
+ | ====Installing ROS with Dual Boot==== | ||
+ | Today installing Linux (I suggest you go with a standard Ubuntu distribution) is fairly simple, and it should not be too complex. [https://itsfoss.com/install-ubuntu-1404-dual-boot-mode-windows-8-81-uefi/ You can try following this guide] | ||
+ | |||
+ | In the ideal scenario, you can skip step 4, and on step 6, you can use the first approach. So, most of the things will be handled automatically by the installer. Then, if something is not working, you can explore the additional steps.For example, you should be able to assign the space while installing, so no need to partition the disk before. Then if there are issues with this, you can try the more advanced step and do the partitioning manually. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The external SSD option was used by many students last year, and it works fine and allows you to have some more space. The only detail you have to handle properly is where grub will be placed and how the system will boot. [https://www.58bits.com/blog/2020/02/28/how-create-truly-portable-ubuntu-installation-external-usb-hdd-or-ssd Here a guide on how to do it]. The important thing with this is to buy decent disks because if they are too cheap and more similar to USB sticks than disks, they will not work well as a dual boot. | ||

+ | ==== Homework 2021/2022 ==== | ||
+ | * The First project con the Robotics class is available [https://polimi365-my.sharepoint.com/:f:/g/personal/10457911_polimi_it/EhsMssV_kDBKkp7gY-xGV3gBNGpBpnyoHPR_Gu5eAMebyw?e=2XCRe5 HERE!], deadline is 29/04/2022! | ||
+ | * The Second project con the Robotics class is available [https://goo.gl/GonArW HERE!], deadline is 26/06/2022! | ||
+ | --> | ||
− | == | + | ==Frequently Asked Questions== |
− | + | ===Course Structure=== | |
− | * [[ | + | '''What is the biggest difference with the course 093217 ROBOTICS AND DESIGN?''' |
− | * [https:// | + | * Robotics and Design is a practical course focused on the development of a robotics application, you will not learn about the theoretical aspects of robotics, but you will build a robot with a purpose which changes every year. I consider the two courses as complimentary. |
+ | |||
+ | ===Exams and Evaluation=== | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''Are there any solutions available for the past exams?''' | ||
+ | * No, if you have doubts or questions, just send me your proposed solution and I will reply tailoring the answer to your current understanding. | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''Is it important to buy/read the text book to be able to follow the course? I can’t find it in the library, is there any alternative book?''' | ||
+ | * No, it is not required, as from past experience attending classes and checking the material provided y the teachers is enough. Obviously reading the book will provide much more information.. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===Homeworks and ROS=== | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''In the schedule when it says ROS, are these lectures as well or are they practical work i.e. lab/excercise?''' | ||
+ | *They are ex-cathedra lectures where you are expected to bring your laptop, it is not mandatory and you can follow the class in a classical passive way, but I suggest to consider it as a lab and take your laptop with you if you can. | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''Out of all the scheduled activities this semester, approximately how many of these are practical lab/excercise? | ||
+ | * Indeed not all ROS lectures will present coding exercises, I expect half of them will be about coding and the other half more on the technical background you need to understand what you are coding. | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''Should I install ROS on my laptop/desktop?''' | ||
+ | *Absolutely yes. This means you need to have linux on your machine, possibly ubuntu 16.04 or 18.04. This can be achieved in different ways, we suggest a native install via dual boot or as main operating system (we do not take any responsibility of something happening to your data or hardware in doing this operation). Other options such as virtual machine or live distro are not as effective as a real install, but they work. | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''Which editor/IDE should I use for ROS?''' | ||
+ | * We do not suggest any particular editor for ROS, standard text editors such as nano/gedit/sublime + a terminal are enough. Nevertheless, you can use the environment you prefer for C++ development; some students, in the past, have used Eclipse or Clion. You can also check the [http://wiki.ros.org/IDEs list of supported ROS editors] or [https://github.com/tonyrobotics/roboware-studio Roboware], the latter has been designed for ROS, but it does not offer any special feature you will miss using standard C/C++ editors. | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''As I understand the “homework/project” is a group project. Is this correct and how are the groups formed?''' | ||
+ | * It is not a group project, while it is allowed to do it in groups (up to 3 people). I expect the groups to form naturally in classes. We usually set up a slack group for the project you can organize autonomously. Nevertheless, you can do the project alone as well (but we advise you to do it in groups). | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''When “Part 1” of the homework/project will start?''' | ||
+ | * Right after we have finished the first block of lectures about ROS. This should happen around Easter plus/minus a week. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==Past Years Useful Material== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Here you find material from past editions of the course that you might find useful in preparing the exam. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===Past Exams and Sample Questions=== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Since the 2015/2016 Academic Year the course has changed the teacher and this has changed significantly the program and the exam format as well. For this reason we do not have many past exams to share with you, they will accumulate along the years tho. | ||
+ | |||
+ | * [[Media:20170717.pdf|Exam of 17/07/2017]] | ||
+ | * [[Media:20170701.pdf|Exam of 01/07/2017]] | ||
+ | * [[Media:20160926.pdf|Exam of 26/09/2016]] | ||
+ | * [[Media:20160905.pdf|Exam of 05/09/2016]] | ||
+ | * [[Media:20160720.pdf|Exam of 20/07/2016]] | ||
+ | * [[Media:20160627.pdf|Exam of 27/06/2016]] | ||
+ | |||
+ | ====Note on 06/07/2022 Exam==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | This is a short note on the grading of the [[Media:20220706.pdf|06/07/2022 exam]]. On average has not been different from the others calls except one exercise you might want to know more about, i.e., exercise 1. I take this opportunity to comment on the grading of all exercises so you can get an immediate comment and if there is something missing you can then write to me. | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Exercise 1: the key point here is the use of a "single RGB camera", because of this, we do not have distance measurements and cannot consider the sensor as lidar, sonar, or stereo vision system. Because of this, beam or scan sensor models dedicated to range sensors are not applicable. In this case, you need to use a landmark-based sensor model getting landmarks from the vision system, e.g., a door or a fire extinguisher (examples made multiple times during lectures). As for the localization system any solution which leverages this sensor model is ok, it could be an Extended Kalman Filter, or a Monte Carlo Localization (as the soccer dog example we made in class and you find in the slides), but what is important is to motivate the system on the characteristics of the landmark sensor, not just provide a generic description of a localization algorithm. | ||
+ | * Exercise 2: more or less all exams got the first two points correct, as for the third two options equally correct exist. A) you specify the actuator on the back wheels for forward motion and on the frontal wheels for steering and then you provide the derivation of the Ackerman kinematics; B) you specify that frontal wheels are just caster wheels for support and then you have 2 independent motors on the back deriving then the differential drive kinematics. Partial answers get partial grades. If you are curious the "real" robot is made like B) | ||
+ | * Exercise 3: the decision on the action to choose is based on a scoring function which is different in the cases of 3.1, 3.2, and 3.3. Describing these scoring functions provides full marks, only stating they exist or mixing them up only partial mark, not mentioning these scoring functions zero mark. As for 3.4, the solution is manually (or automatically) tuning the coefficients via trial and errors possibly in simulation. | ||
+ | * Exercise 4: not stating clearly the characteristics of topics, services and actions gives partial credit. | ||
+ | * Exercise 5: most of you got the point, full SLAM requires to estimate the map and the full trajectory. If you want to implement it using an EKF-SLAM algorithm you need to add all the poses to the state of the EKF and estimate jointly the map and the trajectory. This makes the state grow linearly with time and the complexity quadratically with the size of the state ... if you are curios you can check SAM (Smoothing and Mapping) id does exactly this. | ||
+ | * Exercise 6: who has applied A* got full mark, who has just searched for the path and found it by looking at the graph exploring it partially got very low mark. Intermediate marks are give because of incomplete solutions or errors in the execution. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===Past Course Project=== | ||

Course Aim & Organization
This course will introduce basic concepts and techniques used within the field of autonomous mobile robotics. We analyze the fundamental challenges for autonomous intelligent systems when these move on wheels or legs and present the state of the art solutions currently employed in mobile robots and autonomous vehicles with a focus on autonomous navigation, perception, localization, and mapping.
Teachers
The course is composed by a blending of lectures and exercises by the course teacher and a teaching assistant.
- Matteo Matteucci: the course teacher and this is his webex room
- Simone Mentasti: the teaching assistant and this is his webex room
Course Program
Lectures will provide theoretical background and real-world examples. Lectures will be complemented with practical software exercises in simulation and on real data for all the proposed topics and the students will be guided in developing the algorithms to control an autonomous robot.
Among other topics, we will discuss:
- Mobile robots kinematics,
- Sensors and perception,
- Robot localization and map building,
- Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM),
- Path planning and collision avoidance.

Course Evaluation
Course evaluation is composed by two parts:
- A written examination covering the whole program graded up to 26/32
- A home project in simulation practicing the topics of the course graded up to 6/32
The final score will sum the grade of the written exam and the grade of the home project.
Course Project (i.e., the two [2] homeworks)
In the course project, you will use ROS to develop a simple autonomous mobile robot performing simple mapping, localization, and navigation task. The project requires some coding either in C++ / Python following what will be presented during the lectures (we suggest using C++ as it will be the language used in class). The project will be presented in two (2) parts you have about one month to do each. Details will follow.
We checked and found solutions to use ROS on all operating systems. We provide a recap on how you can install ROS on your machine. Keep in mind that the most user-friendly solution is to have a native ubuntu 20.04-ros Noetic installation. Nevertheless, the other solution should work fine for the course.
The first lab we will give you details on the system setup!

Frequently Asked Questions
Course Structure
What is the biggest difference with the course 093217 ROBOTICS AND DESIGN?
- Robotics and Design is a practical course focused on the development of a robotics application, you will not learn about the theoretical aspects of robotics, but you will build a robot with a purpose which changes every year. I consider the two courses as complimentary.
Exams and Evaluation
Are there any solutions available for the past exams?
- No, if you have doubts or questions, just send me your proposed solution and I will reply tailoring the answer to your current understanding.
Is it important to buy/read the text book to be able to follow the course? I can’t find it in the library, is there any alternative book?
- No, it is not required, as from past experience attending classes and checking the material provided y the teachers is enough. Obviously reading the book will provide much more information..
Homeworks and ROS
In the schedule when it says ROS, are these lectures as well or are they practical work i.e. lab/excercise?
- They are ex-cathedra lectures where you are expected to bring your laptop, it is not mandatory and you can follow the class in a classical passive way, but I suggest to consider it as a lab and take your laptop with you if you can.
Out of all the scheduled activities this semester, approximately how many of these are practical lab/excercise?
- Indeed not all ROS lectures will present coding exercises, I expect half of them will be about coding and the other half more on the technical background you need to understand what you are coding.
Should I install ROS on my laptop/desktop?
- Absolutely yes. This means you need to have linux on your machine, possibly ubuntu 16.04 or 18.04. This can be achieved in different ways, we suggest a native install via dual boot or as main operating system (we do not take any responsibility of something happening to your data or hardware in doing this operation). Other options such as virtual machine or live distro are not as effective as a real install, but they work.
Which editor/IDE should I use for ROS?
- We do not suggest any particular editor for ROS, standard text editors such as nano/gedit/sublime + a terminal are enough. Nevertheless, you can use the environment you prefer for C++ development; some students, in the past, have used Eclipse or Clion. You can also check the list of supported ROS editors or Roboware, the latter has been designed for ROS, but it does not offer any special feature you will miss using standard C/C++ editors.
As I understand the “homework/project” is a group project. Is this correct and how are the groups formed?
- It is not a group project, while it is allowed to do it in groups (up to 3 people). I expect the groups to form naturally in classes. We usually set up a slack group for the project you can organize autonomously. Nevertheless, you can do the project alone as well (but we advise you to do it in groups).
When “Part 1” of the homework/project will start?
- Right after we have finished the first block of lectures about ROS. This should happen around Easter plus/minus a week.
Past Years Useful Material
Here you find material from past editions of the course that you might find useful in preparing the exam.
Past Exams and Sample Questions
Since the 2015/2016 Academic Year the course has changed the teacher and this has changed significantly the program and the exam format as well. For this reason we do not have many past exams to share with you, they will accumulate along the years tho.
- Exam of 17/07/2017
- Exam of 01/07/2017
- Exam of 26/09/2016
- Exam of 05/09/2016
- Exam of 20/07/2016
- Exam of 27/06/2016
Note on 06/07/2022 Exam
This is a short note on the grading of the 06/07/2022 exam. On average has not been different from the others calls except one exercise you might want to know more about, i.e., exercise 1. I take this opportunity to comment on the grading of all exercises so you can get an immediate comment and if there is something missing you can then write to me.
- Exercise 1: the key point here is the use of a "single RGB camera", because of this, we do not have distance measurements and cannot consider the sensor as lidar, sonar, or stereo vision system. Because of this, beam or scan sensor models dedicated to range sensors are not applicable. In this case, you need to use a landmark-based sensor model getting landmarks from the vision system, e.g., a door or a fire extinguisher (examples made multiple times during lectures). As for the localization system any solution which leverages this sensor model is ok, it could be an Extended Kalman Filter, or a Monte Carlo Localization (as the soccer dog example we made in class and you find in the slides), but what is important is to motivate the system on the characteristics of the landmark sensor, not just provide a generic description of a localization algorithm.
- Exercise 2: more or less all exams got the first two points correct, as for the third two options equally correct exist. A) you specify the actuator on the back wheels for forward motion and on the frontal wheels for steering and then you provide the derivation of the Ackerman kinematics; B) you specify that frontal wheels are just caster wheels for support and then you have 2 independent motors on the back deriving then the differential drive kinematics. Partial answers get partial grades. If you are curious the "real" robot is made like B)
- Exercise 3: the decision on the action to choose is based on a scoring function which is different in the cases of 3.1, 3.2, and 3.3. Describing these scoring functions provides full marks, only stating they exist or mixing them up only partial mark, not mentioning these scoring functions zero mark. As for 3.4, the solution is manually (or automatically) tuning the coefficients via trial and errors possibly in simulation.
- Exercise 4: not stating clearly the characteristics of topics, services and actions gives partial credit.
- Exercise 5: most of you got the point, full SLAM requires to estimate the map and the full trajectory. If you want to implement it using an EKF-SLAM algorithm you need to add all the poses to the state of the EKF and estimate jointly the map and the trajectory. This makes the state grow linearly with time and the complexity quadratically with the size of the state ... if you are curios you can check SAM (Smoothing and Mapping) id does exactly this.
- Exercise 6: who has applied A* got full mark, who has just searched for the path and found it by looking at the graph exploring it partially got very low mark. Intermediate marks are give because of incomplete solutions or errors in the execution.
