Teaching

Carpe Noctem always wanted to share their experience and gained knowledge with others. Therefore we are happy to offer the following choice of lectures, projects, and labs to the students of the University of Kassel as part of the syllabus of the Distributed Systems department. The basic idea, which all our courses have in common, is the connection of theory and praxis. Therefore, we provide, among the soccer robots, several technical equipment ready to turn theory into praxis. Furthermore, we want to evaluate our courses and mentoring more often, than the University wide frequency would imply. The evaluation results and their consequences can be seen here.

Lectures, Labs and Seminars from past terms and the corresponding evaluation results can be found here.

Open Projects

Project topics are offered on-demand and occasionally may appear on this site. Project work can tackle a wide variety of topics, working on soccer robots, service robots, small robots and even flying robots.

Open Master and Bachelor Theses

There are no special topics announced at the moment, but you are always welcome to bring your own ideas to us giving us the chance to provide you with a proper thesis concerning your ideas. Maybe you would like to have a look at our technical equipment, or visit our us at the Distributed Systems department to strike on an idea.
