WOC7021 Dissertation

Course Learning Outcomes
At the end of the course, students are able to:
1. Report the literature review related to the proposed research project in the approved area.
2. Implement a detailed research project based on the proposed research.
3. Produce a dissertation of the research project

Synopsis of Course Content
The dissertation is concerned with the guidance rendered by the supervisor to the student on the
proper way of conducting a software engineering, computer science or information technology
research project, which could be in the form of face-to-face discussion, presentation, demonstration
and communication. The dissertation also covers the identification of problem statements,
understanding and formulation of the research objectives and research methodology to perform the
research project

WOA7018 Autonomous Robotics

Course Learning Outcomes
At the end of the course, students are able to:
1. Discuss the fundamental principles of autonomous robot.
2. Design autonomous robots with bio-inspired Intelligence, deep neural networks and deep
reinforcement learning.
3. Discuss the aspects of artificial intelligence and autonomous robotics systems from industrial 4.0
perspectives.

Synopsis of Course Content
This course will present an introduction to autonomous robots from both the academic and industrial
viewpoints. For the academic part, emphasis will be given to recent advances in cognitive robotics,
deep reinforcement learning, which combines deep neural networks with reinforcement learning to
provide a framework for discovering suitable control actions (policies) and addressing complex tasks
without explicit programming. For the industry‐focused lectures, aspects of artificial intelligence and
autonomous robotics systems will be considered from industrial 4.0 perspectives.
