Intelligent Autonomous Robotics

Catalog description

This course covers basic topics in autonomous robotics/systems. Intelligent autonomous robots and systems can sense their environment, make decisions on how to act based on the sensations, and execute these actions without human aid or intervention. The main focus of the course is on designing and building robotic systems that navigate independently in complex environments. It is a programming intensive course which requires team work and collaboration, the use of the robotic hardware interface and the implementation of several algorithms to address key areas for effective sensor processing, vision processing, and autonomous decision making in a physical setting or a 3D simulated environment. Three credits; one-hour laboratory. A pre requisite of AI 688 and AI 700 is required.
