Three week project deliverables and examination

Three week project deliverables and examination#

This document lists the requirements and information about submission and oral examination. You will deliver the following:

  1. Code

  2. Demonstration

  3. Engineering report

  4. Presentation

Code#

Demonstration#

  • Record a video of your project video that you will use during your presentation.

    • The interaction between your GUI and the robot’s task should be visible in the video.

    • Before you begin recording, place a sheet of paper on a visible surface with the recording date and your group’s name written on it.

    • Accelerate or remove parts of the video if needed.

  • If your video is about 5-10 MB, then you can upload it to your repository. Otherwise upload it on a video platform like Peertube, Dailymotion, and Youtube.

  • Include the link to your demonstration video on the title page of your report.

Why?

  • During the exam, we won’t have time to set up the robots. Moreover, there is a significant chance that your project may simply not work during the presentation due to stress.

  • The paper is a sign that work belongs to your group.

  • Acceleration and removing saves you time during your presentation and skips irrelevant sequences.

  • Uploading large files to a code repository can quickly consume storage limits.

Engineering Report#

You will deliver an engineering report that documents your project.

General#

  • Size: Not more than five pages per student. Focus on your own work, such as implementation and reflection.

  • Format: PDF

  • Language: Danish or English

Sections#

For the problem, solution and milestones, begin with your text from your proposal and refine it with more technical details.

  1. Problem

  2. Solution

  3. Existing solutions

    Less than one page. I recommend a structured table with:

    • solution & link to the project if available

    • relevance for your project

    • pros

    • cons

  4. Design & implementation

    • Diagrams, e.g., flowcharts

    • Explanations why certain design decisions were made

  5. Test & Demonstration

    • Pictures

    • Video link

  6. Discussion & conclusion

    • Did you solution meet your goals? Include your milestones from your project proposal on a table and show whether you met them or not.

    • What are the limitations of your product?

      • Another perspective: What would you change if you had more time or other resources?

    • Lessons learned about programming, industrial automation, human-robot collaboration.

Other requirements#

  • Student names and matriculation numbers are listed on the title page.

  • Deliver your code in a repository. The link must be on the title page.

  • Do not include large excerpts of code in your report. Prefer visual diagrams instead.

  • Include at least one diagram that visualizes how different parts of your project interplay.

  • See the writing as part of the learning process and write the text yourself. Use the LLM to get feedback on your writing.

  • Declare the use of generative AI

Presentation (Oral exam)#

The presentation will be the oral exam. It will be in groups.

  • The language can be Danish, English or Danglish.

  • I recommend starting with a short slide about the problem you are solving and then immediately playing your demonstration video.

  • In total, every students should be able to present about five minutes about their task in the project.

    • I will ask questions during and after your presentation.

  • Whole presentation examination will take about ten minutes times the number of students.

  • Prefer visuals and diagrams to text.

  • Upload your PDF slides to your repository under doc folder, so I can easily find it before your presentation. We will use my computer for presentation and you will get a presenter.
