Objectives
Objectives
They must develop the capabilities of research, analysis, synthesis and resolution of logical and systemic problems of high complexity, making use of AI techniques and advanced algorithms. They should also learn how AI can enrich the experience of a video games and therefore be able to apply the knowledge acquired in the form of the implementations of the various AI techniques for that purpose. In addition, they must also develop capacity for autonomous and group work, communication and work planning.
