Agile Development in Robotics

Betreuer: Pouya Mohammadi

Agile is one of the approaches to software developments with success stories, as well as criticism. Put into the context of robotics in general, and robot software development in particular, is the agile methodology applicable to robotic research? What are potential benefits and shortcomings? And how does it compare to other paradigms?

The candidates are expected to read and understand the two papers mentioned below [1,2]. Furthermore they *must* attain supporting material which extends the scope of the other two sources.

The topic is most suitable for bachelor or master students of software engineering, or computer science students with knowledge of software development. The candidate will face robotic concepts in the process, hence previous robotics related curricular activities (e.g., robotic lectures) is recommended.
