Programme

Time
10:00-10:15	Walk-in (room 1.06-1.09 Huygens building)
10:15-11:00	Presentation by study advisor Joost Broekens (room 1.06-1.09)
11:00-12:15	Lecture: Black-box optimisation using evolutionary algorithms (room 1.06-1.09) There are numerous methods for the optimisation of a function. For some well-behaved functions this can be done analytically, but in fields like robotics we are not often dealing with well-behaved functions. In this short lecture, we will look at black-box optimisation, in which the gradient of the function is not known, and solve this using two different methods: the simplex method and an evolutionary algorithm. By Roy de Kleijn (room 1.06-1.09)
12:15-13:15	Lunch in Snellius building
13:15-14.00	Q&A (3.13 in Snellius building)
14:00-15:00	First time programming in Python (room 3.13) In this trial lecture you will program in Python for the first time. You will receive a short lecture in which the basics of Python are explained and a number of small puzzles are explained to you. We will then put this knowledge into practice in the computer room. You can learn programming by practicing a lot. If you get through this lecture well, you will even be able to continue practicing this at home. By Jan van Rijn
15:00-15:15	Break
15:15-16:00	Workgroup part of the Python lecture (3.02-3.04, 3.03, 3.07 and 3.09)
