IUT Orsay (2007-2010)
If you are a student from IUT Orsay, you can find all related documents of the course in the e-learning platform of university of Paris-Sud XI, dokeos.
I'm an assistant professor in the computer science department of IUT Orsay. I give lectures in algorithmic and C++ language to the first-year students and I'm also in charge of a robotic project for second-year students. This project aims at driving from Internet a robot built by IUT Cachan.
Algorithmic and language
I give lectures in algorithmic and C++ language to first-year students (49h / year). The goal is to give theoretical and practical foundations in computer science to students from IUT Orsay.
They see bases of programming thanks to an algorithmic language to learn how to create algorithms and how to translate then in a programming language, here C++. In the second semester, they view first notions on object-oriented languages that will be treated more deeply in second year.
Robotic project
I'm in charge of the robotic project Visity. Students, in their end of the second year, have to take an opening project just before starting their internship. Visity is one of them. The goal is to create a Web interface to remotely pilot a robot, which was built at IUT Cachan and bought by IUT Orsay, in order to explore an area like for example, the buildings of IUT Orsay. This project has started when I arrived in IUT and I'm its manager. There are several goals:
- Use alternative tools to those view during their formation, as for example the Web application framework Ruby-On-Rails to learn how to apply known concepts to new technologies.
- Know bases of robotic.
- And finally, but probably the most important, learn how to work as a team in a large project by using adequate tools like a version control system (Subversion).
