Basic - A must in order to understand the workings of the Player/Stage system.

Introduction - Code is given to the student in problem sets, intended for a quick start.

Intermediate - No code is given to the student, only problem statement.

Advanced - Use of POSIX methods in robotics.

Tutorial Name	Level	Brief Abstract	PDF	HTML
Player/Stage I	Basic	This exercise is an introduction to the basic usage of the Stage simulator and the playerv software. The problem set will deal with the configuration of on-board devices of our robot, as well as customizing the shape of our simulated world using The GIMP.	PDF	HTML
Player/Stage II	Basic	The intention of this exercise is to create a C client program for a player server. Through this client program the user will be able to set predefined commands for the robot, instead of using the playerv application.	PDF	HTML
Player/Stage III	Basic	This exercise deals with the creation of simple behaviors for our robot, such as "stop if a wall is found in front".	PDF	HTML
Player/Stage Robotics I	Introduction	In this problem set we will deal with global and local postioning data of a single robot. This is a base needed for pre-planed (offline) algorithms.
Player/Stage Robotics II	Introduction	We will introduce simple ways of traversing labirynths. Both algorithms of known and unknown maps will be discussed.
Player/Stage Robotics III	Introduction	In this exercise we will introduce the possiblity of adding multiple robots into a single simulation, as well as having many programs controling a single robot.
Player/Stage Robotics IV	Intermediate	The concept of the Vector Field Histogram will be introduced in this problem set.
Player Vision I	Introduction	This exercise will deal with connecting and grabbing a single image from a player server. In essence we will create a client application that will display and save images from the server using OpenCV methods.	PDF	HTML
Player Vision II	Introduction	In this problem set we will deal with color and depth conversions using OpenCV. We will also show you how to apply various OpenCV filters to images taken from a camera device on a player server.	PDF	HTML
Player Vision III	Intermediate	In this problem set we will discuss how to access particular pixels within an image that is grabbed through the camera interface. We will be able to change the depth, convert colors and crop live camera feeds.
Player Vision IV	Intermediate
Behavioural Robotics I	Intermediate
Behavioural Robotics II	Intermediate	We will introduce the concept of the Potential Field Method. We will deal with a positive field, a negative field and both positive and negative at once.

Project	Level	Brief Goal	PDF	HTML
BUG I and II	Introduction	Impement the Bug I and Bug II algorithms in Player/Stage.	PDF	HTML
OpenCV implementation	Introduction	Implement 10 types of filters that have not been discussed during the course of these tutorials. Documentation is freely available both localy and on the Internet.	PDF	HTML
Object Clustering	Intermediate	Using a clustering method of your choice, produce an image that will display various objects in different colors. As an easing factor you may use an image that is already filtered through OpenCV (your choice of filter).
