Summer School of Robotics

28 June to 12 July 2008

Organized in cooperation with the BEST - see the official website of the BEST summer course

The activities labeled LogoBESTsmall.png are recommended for the participants of the BEST summer course. All the activities except the laboratory workshops are open to the public. Robotika.SK organizes at the same time Robotic holidays. You can visit any lectures and tutorials listed here PLUS You can participate on the projects which will be solved during these days.

Following topics/presentations are confirmed for now:

  • LogoBESTsmall.png History of the word Robot and the cultural context of robotics.

prof. Kelemen (Silesian University in Opava, CZ)


  • Basics of DSP on AVR processors (hands-on tutorial).

prof. Gruhler (Fachhochschule Heilbronn, DE)


  • LogoBESTsmall.png History of the robotics.

assoc. prof. Hubinsky (FEI STU, SK)

Illustrated lecture about the history of the robotics - from ancient
inventions to the latest research projects. Information about
technical and also non-technical aspects of the robotics evolution.
  • LogoBESTsmall.png Kinematics of mobile robots.

assoc. prof. Hubinsky (FEI STU, SK)

Basic types of the mobile robot kinematics - differential drive,
tricycle, Ackermann steering, omnidirectional wheels, synchronous
drives  - basic structures, coordinate transformations, technical solutions.
  • Lecture "Subsumption: Brooks' approach to robotics"

Dr. Lucny (MicroStep-MIS, SK)

We introduce subsumption as simplified method how to mimics biological
evolution for purposes of robot construction. Features of biological 
creatures as their situatedness in particular environment and thinkering 
(bricolage) during their evolution are used as important insiration. 
  • Tutorial "How to follow a ping-pong ball"

Dr. Lucny (MicroStep-MIS, SK)

We introduce step-by-step necessary methods of image processing 
and behavior control for development of a simple robot which follow 
a ping-pong ball. In this way we demonstrate several important 
principles on a simple example.
  • Bayesian Robot Programming and Probabilistic Robotics.

Mgr. Pavel Petrovič, PhD. (FMFI UK, SK)


  • Selected topics from Evolutionary Algorithms I, II

Mgr. Pavel Petrovič, PhD. (FMFI UK, SK)


  • LogoBESTsmall.png Workshop Basic operation with a Boe-Bot mobile robot.

Ing. Balogh (Robotika.SK)
