Course Description

Overview

Fuse computer vision, machine learning, mechanics, and hardware systems to build bots of the future!

Syllabus

  • Introduction to Robotics
    • Learn the essential elements of robotics, meet your instructors, and get familiar with the tools that will help you succeed in this program.
  • Gazebo World
    • Learn how to simulate your first robotic environment with Gazebo, the most common simulation engine used by Roboticists around the world.
  • ROS Essentials
    • Discover how ROS provides a flexible and unified software environment for developing robots in a modular and reusable manner. Learn how to manage existing ROS packages within a project, and how to write ROS Nodes of your own in C++.
  • Localization
    • Learn how Gaussian filters can be used to estimate noisy sensor readings, and how to estimate a robot’s position relative to a known map of the environment with Monte Carlo Localization (MCL).
  • Mapping and SLAM
    • Learn how to create a Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) implementation with ROS packages and C++. You’ll achieve this by combining mapping algorithms with what you learned in the localization lessons.
  • Path Planning and Navigation
    • Learn different Path Planning and Navigation algorithms. Then, combine SLAM and Navigation into a home service robot that can autonomously transport objects in your home!
  • Optional KUKA Path Planning Project
  • Career Services
  • Autonomous Systems Interview
    • Start off with some tips on interviewing for an autonomous systems role, then watch how candidates approach their interview questions. Finish off by practicing some questions of your own!
