This course provides an intensive treatment of a cross-section of the key elements of robotics and robot vision, addressing the fundamentals of 2D and 3D visual sensing, mobile robot kinematics, locomotion, mapping, and path planning, robot arm kinematics, manipulation, and programming. It builds quickly to cover more advanced topics, including reasoning, cognition, cognitive architectures, learning and development, memory, attention, prospection by internal simulation, and social interaction. It emphasizes both theory and practice and makes extensive use of physical robots, both mobile and manipulator arm, as well as different sensor technologies including RGB-D cameras.

Course description:

The course emphasizes both theory and practice and makes extensive use of physical robots, both mobile and manipulator arm, as well as different sensor technologies including RGB-D cameras.

Learning objectives:

The primary goal of this course is provide students with an intensive treatment of a cross-section of the key elements of robotics and robot vision. It begins by addressing the fundamentals of 2D and 3D visual sensing, focussing on the some essential techniques for mobile robots and robot arms. It then deals with the kinematics and inverse kinematics of mobile robots, addressing locomotion, mapping, and path planning, This is followed by robot arm kinematics, manipulation, and programming. Based on these foundations, it builds quickly to cover more advanced topics, including reasoning, cognition, cognitive architectures, learning and development, memory, attention, prospection by internal simulation, and social interaction.
