2503743 Management of Smart and Sustainable Cities | OT | 3 | 2 |
The subject does not formally require any pre-requisite. However, for its best understanding, it is advisable to have passed the subjects of Mathematics, Foundations on Informatics, and Instrumentation and Sensors of the first course, and Digitalization and Microcontrollers of the second year.
The objectives of this subject are framed in the application of Robotics in the field of smart city. In particular, it is intended:
The contents of the subject are divided into the following blocks:
Block 1. Theoretical and technical fundamentals:
1. Classic views of robotics.
2. Basic technologies: interaction and connectivity. Human-machine interaction components.
3. Fundamentals of Artificial Intelligence. Decision making.
4. Case study 1. Robotics and the Internet of things.
Block 2. Ethical, social and economic implications:
1. Ethical issues that arise from the proliferation of robots in the industrial and urban environment.
2. Industrial Shift: employability in the context of ubiquous robotics and sustainability models.
3. Case study 2. Impact of artificial intelligence on urban mobility.
Block 3. Applications of robotics.
1. Case study 3. Industry 4.0 and robotics. Challenges for the insertion of the robot in industrial fields, systems of interaction and collaboration with interconnected, interactive and collaborative robots. Challenges for the insertion of the robot in urban environments.
The teaching methodology to be followed is oriented to the student's learning of the subject on an ongoing basis. This process is based on the realization of three types of activities that will be developed throughout the course: theory lectures, problem seminars and case studies and laboratory practicum.

The evaluation of the subject will be done progressively and continuously throughout the semester. The evaluation system is based on the following rules:
a) Scheduled evaluation process and activities
The following activities are foreseen, related to the realization of several works and practices that contain the development and discussion of the different study cases proposed in the course as well as their oral presentation:
Activity A1. Development of the case study 1. This activity consists in carrying out a group of critical work in which the application of the case study 1 is discussed and developed.
Activity A2. Presentation and oral defense of the case study 1. The solution proposed by each group in the case study will be defended by the group in an oral presentation before the class.
Activity A3. Resolution of laboratory practices of Block 1. This activity consists of the resolution of the statement of practices formulated for this block.
Activity B1. Development of the case study 2. This activity consists of carrying out in a group a critical work where the application of the case study 2 is discussed and developed.
Activity B2. Presentation and oral defense of the case study 2. The solution proposed by each group in the case study will be defended by the group in an oral presentation before the class.
Activity B3. Resolution of laboratory practices of Block 2. This activity consists of the resolution of the statement of practices formulated for this block.
Activity C1. Development of the case study 3. This activity consists of carrying out in a group a critical work where the application of the case study 3 is discussed and developed.
Activity C2. Presentation and oral defense of the case study 3. The solution proposed by each group in the case study will be defended by the group in anoral presentation before the class.
Activity C3. Resolution of laboratory practices of Block 3. This activity consists of the resolution of the statement of practices formulated for this block.
The final grade will be calculated in the following way:
MarkBlock1 = 20% MarkWork1 (Act. A1) + 50% MarkPresentation1 (Act A2) + 30% PracticumComputer (Act A3)
MarkBlock2 = 20% MarkWork2 (Act. B1) + 50% MarkPresentation2 (Act B2) + 30% PracticumComputer (Act B3)
MarkBlock3 = 20% MarkWork3 (Act. C1) + 50% MarkPresentation3 (Act. C2) + 30% PracticumComputer (Act C3)
FinalMark = 35% * MarkBlock1 + 35% * MarkBlock2 + 30% * MarkBlock3
To pass the subject, it will be necessary to obtain a minimum grade of 5 as a result of the calculationof the final grade. To apply the FinalFinal formula, it will be necessary to obtain a minimum grade of 4 in all the notes of the blocks, that is, each of the notes NoteBlock1, NoteBlock2 and NoteBlock3 must be greater than or equal to 4. It must be taken into account that these activities They are not recoverable. Therefore, if a NoteBlock is qualified with a grade lower than that indicated above, the subject cannot be approved.
b) Programming evaluation activities
The scheduling of the evaluation activities will be given on the first day of the subject and will be made public through the Virtual Campus (Moodle) and on the website of the Engineering School, in the exams section.
c) Recovery process
This subject is evaluated continuously by means of the presentation of the works corresponding to the case studies and laboratory practices. The works must be presented in date and form according to the indications provided by the teacher and are not recoverable. If a student does not reach the minimum grade of 4 in any of the NotaBloque and for this reason does not pass the subject, the final grade will be 4.5 maximum, that is, equal to the value of the weighted average given by Final Note if is less than 4.5 or 4.5 if it is higher.
d) Procedure for review of qualifications
For each evaluation activity, a place, date and time of revision in which the student can review the activity with the teacher will be indicated. In this context, claims may be made on the activity grade, which will be evaluated by the faculty responsible for the subject. If the student does not show up for this revision, this activity will not be reviewed later.
e) Qualifications
The final grade of the subject will be calculated according to the percentages mentioned in section a) of this point. Keep in mind that:
f) Irregularities by the student, copy and plagiarism
Without prejudice to other disciplinary measures deemed appropriate, the irregularities committed by the student that may lead to a variation of the grade of an evaluation act will be scored with a zero. Therefore, copying, plagiarism, cheating, letting copy, etc. in any of the evaluation activities will involve suspending it with a zero. If it is necessary to pass any of these evaluation activities to pass the subject, this subject will be suspended directly, without the opportunity to recover it in the same course.
g) Evaluation of repeating students
No mark is saved from one course for the next. Repeating students follow the same evaluation standards as any other student.
