\section{Resources}
%========================================================================

The material from this minicourse is based on the MOOS-IvP open source project.
This project has been online since 2006 and contains the software for both the
MOOS and IvP Helm architectures, along with dozens of MOOS applications, and helm
behaviors.

and information about related projects, can be found here:

\section{Class Mechanics}
%========================================================================

This course will be taught over five days, with the fifth day being
primarily a final lab challenge problem. Each of the five days will be
comprised of two half-day sessions, roughly 3-3.5 hours each. Each
session begins by introducing new slide material for about an 45
minutes, followed by a lab preview discussion, followed by a two hour
self-contained lab.

\vspace{0.1in}
\noindent
The lab exercises require either a Linux or MacOS system provided by
each participant. Guidance will be provided on how to download and
install the MOOS-IvP autonomy software and autonomy tools on
participant laptops. External network connectivity is strongly
preferred to allow for downloading of course material, labs and lab
solutions. 

%========================================================================
\section{Schedule}
%========================================================================

The mini-course is comprised of ten sessions. Each session is
approximately 3-3.5 hours with the first 45-60 minutes being a slide
discussion, followed by a 2-3 hour self-contained set of lab
exercises. The labs are structured to build upon previous labs, but
are also structured to be doable even if the prior labs were not
totally completed. Likewise, if participants are moving faster than
normal, additional challenge exercises are provided for each lab.
