In accordance with the student`s interests, some of the following topics will be further studied: applications for service robots (in a household, on a building site, in a hazardous environment, inspection robots, life saving robots, etc.), autonomous robots, control and regulation in biological systems, the comparison of the `control architecture` of biological systems and autonomous robots, types of autonomous robots depending on the way in which they move (wheels and tracks, jumping robots, snake-like robots, flying robots, multiple-legged and two-legged robot locomotion, etc.), robot learning, “behaviour-based robotics” which represents a new way in which we control robots in an unstructured environment like ours, grasping and manipulation of objects, humanoid robots. A part of the course work is conducted through independent individual study and research work in the field of Non-Industrial Robotics.The research study requires the student`s active and constant interest in and reading of the primary scientific resources, the organization and conducting of experiments and statistical processing of data, numerical simulations, writing a paper in the specific scientific field relevant to the doctoral dissertation
