Modern Sensors for Intelligent Systems

Catalog description

The class aims at introducing sensing technologies for robots and other intelligent systems. The course will cover the physical principles of traditional sensors, sensor calibration and evaluation, signal processing algorithms for different sensors, and examples of sensor applications for robots or other intelligent systems. On the sensing system design part, the course will cover the common sensor fusion design and algorithms, and provide examples of sensing systems for different robots or intelligent systems, such as wearable sensors, self-driving cars, autonomous vehicles, assistant robots, and field robots in extreme conditions. The class will contain lectures, two lab sessions, and a course project.
