The lecture covers the foundations of pattern recognition from a probabilistic point of view. The following topics are discussed:

    • Basics (e.g., stochastics, model selection, Curse of Dimensionality, decision and information theory)
    • Distributions (e.g., multinomial, Dirichlet, Gaussian and Student distributions, nonparametric estimation)
    • Linear models for regression
    • Linear models for classification
    • Neural networks
    • Kernel methods

In this lab, students learn how to work with humanoid robots. The lab consists of the following content:        

  •       Introduction to working with humanoid robots        
  •       Introduction to the Robot Operating System (ROS)
  •       Application of algorithms from computer vision
  •       Getting to know and handling 3D sensors
  •       Introduction and application of basic machine learning algorithms
  •       Basics of cooperation between human-robot / robot-robot
  •       Enhancement of robot sensor technology for higher interaction capabilities.

The lab concludes with a group project.

The kickoff event is tentatively scheduled for October 23, 2023, at 2:00 pm.
