Description

The course theory part explores the following topics:

  • 2D and 3D pose representation and transformations
  • Workspace, C-Space, Degrees of Freedom
  • Kinematics for arms and wheeled robots
  • Feedback-based control
  • Sensors
  • Localization, Mapping, SLAM
  • Path planning

The practical part explores algorithm implementations with Jupyter Notebooks and ROS.

Good Python programming skills are required for assignments and project work.
