Beyond Asimov’s Rules: Towards Intelligent Robotics
July 2nd-10th, 2023
The robotics we used to see in movies and cartoons of the 1960s and 1970s are now starting to become our new reality. The interdisciplinary research and high investment in Robotics, Artificial Intelligence and Big Data leads to the Intelligent Robotics that will rapidly improve human well-being and literally change the human experience. If you would like to know more about this discipline in a practical way in which this technology is now being applied, this is your course!
This is a course aimed at any student from an Engineering background with enthusiasm about the topic. It will give you the chance to learn the latest advances and visit different robotics laboratories, start-ups and/or companies focused on different applications. Lectures and practical sessions will be delivered by leading robotics researchers from University Carlos III of Madrid. We shall try to create a collaborative environment where you will all be able to share your ideas with the other European students.
It will be a pleasure to welcome you to Madrid, show you the city and let you get immersed in Spanish culture. You will make friends from all over Europe while learning together!
A BEST Course is an international event where students of Technology from universities around Europe get the chance to complement their fields of study, discuss educational matters, learn and take their first steps into an international career, increase their international experience, set up contacts, improve their English level and have fun.

Throughout Sunday July the 2nd, we will pick you up from the airport and take you to the arrival place.
Departures
Due to the Weekend Trip, we will be far away from Madrid, as our destination is 4 hours away. Therefore, we will not arrive to the capital until around 15:00 on Monday 10th, as we have arranged private transportation at that time.
Please, do NOT buy your return plane ticket before 16:30. We will not be able to take you to Madrid’s airport anytime before that, anything earlier won’t be covered by the organizing group.
What participants say about our courses
"Hi dear people! Once again I want to thank you for an amazing week that I will certainly never forget! You are the sweetest and kindest group of people and I wish you all the best in life! Stay awesome, fun, and kind as you are! I wish we had more time together, but there is no amount of time that would be enough! Don't forget to call and see you around Europe!"
"If I had to choose between going to Hogwarts for real or going to the Big Data course organised by BEST-UC3M, I would certainly go to Madrid. We still got to fight dementors, go to magic classes (isn't machine learning magic after all?) and make sangria disappear at parties!"
"It's rare to meet such bright and passionate people as you. This course was for me a timeless reminder that we can build connections of value with other people in a short time. It was a tangible attestation of this great power that we, as humans, appear to have. "
"I had an undescribable amazing time in Madrid. Before, when people asked me what I was expecting from this course, I didn't really know what I was hoping for except the usual stuff: making new friends, having a great time, learn something more about the topic,... . But now I definitely know that it was much and much more amazing than I could ever expect or describe. It is hard to tell what kind of a connection you create with the other participants and organisers, it almost feels like a family. And even though you are tired, you don't want to miss any moment of the course by sleeping. Maybe, you don't totally realise how exceptional a course can be, but afterwards you'll definitely know it was the best time ever"
