Introduction to Robotics
The main goal of the course is to provide students with fundamental knowledge of robotics and its various subfields. The initial part of the lecture focuses on the historical development of robotics, introducing essential concepts, terminology, and selected specialized topics. Students will gain an understanding of both past and current industrial as well as research trends in the field.
The course also explores robot motion synthesis and design inspired by biological systems, highlighting examples of bio-inspired robots. Special emphasis is placed on human motion principles and the synthesis of humanoid movements. Additionally, future developmental trends in robotics are discussed, along with an overview of the robotics program offered by the Warsaw University of Technology (WUT).
Wonderful Warsaw
Standing on the banks of the River Vistula, Warsaw is the capital and largest city of Poland — a vibrant destination that offers a perfect mix of history, culture, and modern charm. The city delights visitors with its beautiful Old Town streets and squares, lively parks and gardens, fascinating museums, hearty Polish cuisine, and energetic nightlife. The Old Town, Warsaw’s oldest district, dates back to the 13th century with the construction of the King’s Castle and surrounding walls. Though much of it was destroyed during World War II, it was painstakingly rebuilt by the 1980s — an effort that earned it a place on the UNESCO World Heritage List. Today, it thrives with art galleries, cafés, and restaurants that reflect the city’s enduring spirit.
Blending stunning modern architecture with preserved pre-war landmarks, Warsaw stands as a city of contrasts and resilience. While iconic sites like the Old Town and Royal Castle were reconstructed, treasures such as Wilanów Palace survived the war intact. Post-war marvels like the Palace of Culture and Science now define the skyline, symbolizing Warsaw’s rebirth. Visitors can explore must-see attractions such as the Church of St. Martin, Old Town Market Square, Royal Łazienki Park, Royal Route, Warsaw Uprising Museum, Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, Warsaw Uprising Monument, and the Copernicus Science Centre. For those venturing beyond the capital, Krakow and Auschwitz offer deeply moving and historically rich experiences.
