Descrición xeral The main objective of the course is to provide the students with an updated vision of autonomous marine vehicles, both surface and underwater systems. The topics are mainly focused on providing students with the basics of intelligent control systems in marine environments. In addition, it will also provide a technical and regulatory approach to the field of robotics within this scope. In order to obtain these goals, and apart from the theoretical basis, students will work with simulated and real marine vehicles, thus developing the skills needed to tackle the implementation of real autonomous marine robots.

Metodoloxías
Metodoloxías Descrición
Prácticas a través de TIC Practical classes carried out in the ICT lab, with the objective of learning how to program an autonomous marine vehicle (real or simulated) to develop a simple mission. In these classes, the teacher will help students to properly understand the topics
Sesión maxistral Masterclass where teachers explain the theoretical concepts of the topics, and students can ask questions.
Traballos tutelados Autonomous work where students must solve some challenge involving programming an autonomous marine vehicle to solve a task. There can be one of incremental complexity or more than one with independent objectives. In this methodology, students will be organised in groups, so they will have to collaborate to achieve the goal.
Saídas de campo A field trip will be made to the UDC ship model basin to analyse the real conditions of the environment where the ROV operates
Proba mixta Written or oral examination where students will show their understanding of the theoretical concepts of the subject.

Descrición
In the practical workshops, the teacher will supervise the students' progress and help them with all the issues that could arise.

In the supervised projects, students will have the option of asking their questions and doubts to the teachers while developing their project autonomously.

Avaliación
Metodoloxías Competencias Descrición Cualificación
Proba mixta A4 B4 B5 B6 B11 B13 C2 Students will have to show their knowledge and understanding of the theoretical concepts of the subject by means of a written or oral activity 30
Traballos tutelados A4 B3 B4 B5 B6 B7 B8 B9 B11 B13 C2 C3 C7 One or more incremental projects will be proposed throughout the course focused on solving realistic problems with autonomous marine problems using real or simulated robots. These tasks will be developed autonomously by the student outside the classroom and must be defended in front of the teachers. 60
Saídas de campo A4 B3 B7 B9 B11 B13 C4 C7 The correct preparation, execution and understanding of the field trip will be assessed by the teachers of the subject. Students must prepare a report which will be evaluated. 10
 
Observacións avaliación

In order to pass this subject, a minimum score of 50 must be obtained by adding all the above methodologies, there being no minimum in any of them. If the student does not pass the subject in the ordinary exam, he/she will have to repeat the necessary activities of the methodology/s that were not passed in the extraordinary exam.

General EMJMD Sustainable Ship and Shipping  SEAS 4.0 evaluation rules:

- Students will have only two oportunities to pass a course. If failing to do so, they may be forced to leave the degree.

- No part time or lecture attendance exemption are allowed in this degree.

Observacións

To help in achieving a sustainable environment and to get the objective of number 5 action of the "Ferrol Green Campus Action Plan" (Healthy and environmentaly and socially sustainable research and teaching):

The assignments to be done in this course:

- Will be required in digital format.

- Will be delivered using Moodle, with no need to print them.

In case it is necessary to print them:

- Plastics won´t be used.

- Two side printing will be used.

- Recycled paper will be used.

- Printing drafts will be avoided.

A sustainable use of the resources should be done, together with the prevention of negative impacts on the environment.
