  * The practical takes place Fridays, 9:00 - 11:30 in room 2323 in the computer science building.
  * There will be a robot competition with the Center for Computing and Communication

===== Content =====

In this software practical, we will practice the programming of embedded software considering the Robotics Invention System as an example. The Java based open source operating system Lejos will be used for developing robots which interact with their environment through sensors and actuators. As a completion of the practical, we will arrange a competition between the participants. Basic knowledge of Java is a prerequisite for participation.
