Through this seminar participants will become familiar with the field of robotics and especially modern mobile robots, starting with a quick overview of fundamentals, and moving with a mix of theory and hands-on exercises all the way to real-world mapping and navigation of full-scale mobile robots. We will also slightly touch upon concepts related to robot perception as well as Human-Robot Interaction. We will work with multiple robot platforms both in simulation as well as in the physical world, including the well-established Pioneer P3-series.
Required knowledge:
* Basic Knowledge of Object Oriented Programming and Microcontroller-Based Systems
* Strong interest in creating innovative applications of robotics
Instructor: Dr Nikolaos Mavridis

In particular, the following topics will be covered:
- Online Social Networks as a source of capturing valuable insights (presentation)
- Monitoring social content: the SocialSensor crawler (hands-on)
- Management of Social Network data
- JSON storage and indexing using mongoDB (hands-on)
- Full text indexing and search using Solr (hands-on)
- Trend detection in social media (presentation)
Required knowledge:
- Basic knowledge of Object-Oriented Programming with a focus on Java.
- Experience with database and indexing systems with a focus on MongoDB and Solr.
- Experience with the Eclipse IDE.
