270 Roboter aus 16 Nationen traten vom 26. – 27. März 2011 bei der RobotChallenge, Europas größtem Robotik-Wettbewerb, in der Wiener Aula der Wissenschaften gegeneinander an und kämpften um die begehrten Medaillen. Über 4.000 Besucher ließen sich dieses zweitägige Mega-Event nicht entgehen und nutzen die Gelegenheit, die spannenden Wettbewerbe live vor Ort mitzuverfolgen.

This tutorial gives an overview of a few of the many techniques to improve the control of mobile robots. The tutorial is broken down into 4 sessions each lasting 1 hour and 15 minutes. Each session presents theoretical ideas with a strong emphasis on practical implementation.
The tutorial will start at 10am and will be finished at 4:15pm. There will be coffee breaks between the sessions. A lunch break is scheduled after two sessions.
This session explores common architectures for robot control, from simple rule based systems to subsumption architecture and finite state machines.
