Artificial Intelligence and Robotics in Health Care and Social Services (5 ECTS)

Objective

The purpose of the course is to enhance the student’s technological competence in the basics of artificial intelligence, robotics and computer programming. In addition, the purpose is to enhance competence in methods of assessing user-oriented development and usability and in the practical application of these methods.

The student enhances their technological competence, knows the basic concepts of artificial intelligence and robotics and understands the basics of programming. The student recognises the basic principles of usability and is able to apply usability testing methods in practice. The student is able to plan and implement a user-oriented development process and to evaluate the impacts and usability of the developed service.

Student workload

A total of five credits means 135 hours of student work.
(1 credit = 27 h, 5 credits = 135 h)

Further information

By returning the online exam or online assignment, students confirm that their demonstration of competence is based on independent work and ethical behaviour. Failure to do so may result in suspension from the UAS for up to one year. Act on Universities of Applied Sciences 932/2014, Section 38.

In order to ensure the independent demonstration of competence in online learning, the teacher may, at his/her discretion, require the demonstration of competence under supervised conditions or by means of an oral examination. The teacher will inform the student of the method of demonstrating competence at the latest at the beginning of the course.
