+Students should also provide, together with the delivery of their project, a telephone number or Skype address where we could call them in case there is any problem with the TEAMS connection.

-To take part in the project, which is mandatory for the exam, you have to register by sending an email by July 7, 2019, to:
-- Christian Camacho Villalón and Federico Pagnozzi if you choose the project in optimization (ccamacho@ulb.ac.be; federico.pagnozzi@ulb.ac.be)
-- Antoine Ligot and David Garzon Ramos if you choose the project in robotics (aligot@ulb.ac.be; dgarzonr@ulb.ac.be)

-Projects submitted after this deadline will incur a penalty of 1 point for each 12 hours delay, with a max accepted delay of 2 calendar days.  Projects delivered after the midnight of Sunday, August 11, 2019, will not be considered and the student will therefore not be admitted to the exam.

+===== Project first session =====
+The project is composed of two parts, covering the two subjects studied in class: swarm robotics and optimization. In the first part, the students are required to solve, by hand, a collective decision problem in which a swarm must select the best option among set of possible alternatives. In the second part, the students must identify parameters of their solution to the collective decision problem, and fine-tune these parameters using a particle swarm optimization algorithm.
