The iCub-humanoid Robot: A Hands-on Course
Tomaso Poggio, Giorgio Metta, Lorenzo Rosasco
Mon Jan 30 thru Fri Feb 3, 09am-07:00pm, 46-3015, with an hour break at 11

Enrollment limited: advance sign up required (see contact below)
Limited to 25 participants.
Participants requested to attend all sessions (non-series)
Prereq: For org. reasons students shld register ASAP

This course is organized as a “code sprint” to pull together all the software needed to make a humanoid work - control and perception algorithms for its head, hand, arm, legs, and full body. It is organized as a peer-to-peer event: there are little formal lectures and lot of free programming time on a real humanoid robot. All participants are expected to be competent C/C++ programmers with an interest in working with others like them. The schedule will be organized flexibly around informal tutorials. The bulk of our time will be spent working together to integrate modules and implement interesting behaviors for humanoid robots.
