The exams from January 7 are now corrected. Please see below to find a zip file with scores for the anonymous codes. Emails with results will be sent out as soon as the exams have been deanonymized.
Solutions to today's exam are now posted below.
By popular demand, the slides from the seminar of group 9 are now available in the Dropbox folder.
The preliminary project presentations are on Wednesday December 19 at 13.15-15.00. We will divide the groups into two rooms and run the presentations in the following order:
Each group will be given 15 minutes to present and another 5 minutes for questions and discussion. Please think of the presentation as a work meeting to improve your project. We don't grade your presentations because the purpose is to help you develop the projects.
The session on Wednesday before lunch is canceled.
Materials for seminars 9 and 10 are now available in the Dropbox folder.
Update on obligatory attendance: We expect you to take part in at least 5 of 7 two-hour blocks of seminars and/or guest lectures. Anyone who is close to missing this requirement will be contacted by email. We apologize for the unclear information on this previously.
You should now have recieved an email with your score and anonymous code from the midterm exam. Please see below in Section 3 to find answers and scores in Excel and csv files.
Materials for seminars 5 and 6 are now available in the Dropbox folder.
On the re-exam: Anyone may take the re-exam (January 7th, 2019, at 08.30-10.30). We always count your best score, so there is no risk involved in taking the re-exam.
Seminars: Materials for Seminar 4 are now available in the Dropbox folder.

The preparation materials for Monday's example seminar are now posted in the Dropbox. Please make sure to read them in detail before the seminar on Monday.
Yesterday's exam and solutions are now posted below.
The models presented today on finitely and infinitely repeated Prisoner's Dilemma on a lattice are described in papers found in the DropBox (Lindgren, 1997; Lindgren & Nordahl, 1994). The Mathematica code for the simulations is also available, both for the finitely repeated PD and the infinitely repeated PD.
The old exams are now also posted without solutions. See below.
The overview slide of games you proposed for Assignment 1 is now available in the Dropbox folder. The paper describing the evolutionary model (Lindgren, 1991) presented yesterday is available under the recommended reading, and the Mathematica code for the simulation is also available.
The games you proposed for Assignment 1 are now available in the Dropbox folder.
Also, some instructions for the midterm exam:
The deadline for forming project/seminar groups is postponed to Wednesday 21 November. This change is now reflected in the documents below.
Lectures 2 and 3 on Basic concepts will primarily be based on Chapters 1, 2, and 4 in the course book. Since the book is short and concise, we recommend a broader introduction to the area that is found in two texts by Roger Myerson, covering work by John Nash and Thomas Schelling. The texts are found in the Dropbox folder under "Recommended reading".
Welcome to the course! We will start with an introductory lecture on Monday, November 5, in FL51.
The schedule with lecture rooms is available in TimeEdit.

In order to be eligible for a second cycle course the applicant needs to fulfil the general and specific entry requirements of the programme that owns the course. (If the second cycle course is owned by a first cycle programme, second cycle entry requirements apply.)
Exemption from the eligibility requirement: Applicants enrolled in a programme at Chalmers where the course is included in the study programme are exempted from fulfilling these requirements.
Basic mathematical and programming skills are required. It is recommended to be familiar with programming of microcontrollers. In addition, it is advantageous (but not absolutely necessary) to have taken the course FFR125 Autonomous Agents, or similar.
The course aims at giving the students (1) a basic understanding of the theory of humanoid robots, i.e. bipedal walking robots with an approximately humanlike shape, and (2) practical knowledge concerning humanoid robots, through a robot construction project.
The course consist of lectures and lab sessions. In the lectures, the theory of humanoid robotics is covered and some (individual) assignments are given out. Next, the students select a humanoid robot project which is carried out in groups of 2-4 students. The results obtained in the different projects should be demonstrated in the class and a written report must be handed in.
For further details, please refer to the course home page.
Lecture notes, scientific papers, and handouts. The material will be made available via the course web page.
The examination consists of a graded take-home exam and a project report. The obtained partial grades will weighted together for a final course grade. For the project grade the total accomplishment of the project, as well as organization and structure, and documentation (planning report and final report) contribute. Oral presentation of the project is mandatory, but not included in the grade.

The aim of the course is to give an introduction to fundamental concepts of game theory and to explore the concept of rationality and a series of applications and extensions of game theory. We focus on the effects of individual rationality and also the aggregate behaviour between agents in a large population. What are general principles for rational action? How well does this describe human behavior in practice?
The final content of the course can and will be influenced by the students attending it (i.e. other topics may be added to this list). Topics that were covered in last year’s version of the course include:
Basic game-theoretic concepts, theory and principles of rational decision-making, backward induction and the rationality paradox, analysis of repeated interaction, tragedy of the commons, evolutionary game theory, public good games, agent-based models in economics, behavioural economics and the environment, bargaining theory and dynamic games.
The course was developed by Kristian Lindgren and Erik Sterner following a request (from Erik and a few of his classmates) to Kristian, asking him if he could give a course in game theory. It was first given in 2010 and 2011. After a break and work on the course format the formal criteria for becomming an electable masters course was reached during 2013 and the course will be given starting autumn 2014 (Quarter 2).
In this course, we study humanoid robots, i.e. robots that have an approximately human-like shape. Such robots form an important special case of the autonomous robots studied in the course Autonomous agents. For example, unlike wheeled robots, a walking humanoid robot is (in principle) able to climb stairs and is also, in general, better adapted (than a wheeled robot) to environments designed for people.
The course begins with two weeks of lectures, during which the theoretical foundations of humanoid robots are explored. The remaining part of the course consists of lab work, during which several different humanoid robots are used for solving a variety of tasks, focusing on human-robot interaction.
