The goal of the course is to provide a comprehensive introduction to the basic knowledge and tools in the broad areas of robotics including sensing and vision, control and estimation, localisation and mapping, robotic learning, and planning and optimisation. Students will learn the basic principles, theories, and algorithms for these foundational blocks in robotics research accompanied with a series of training and practice in data acquisition, coding, and analytical methods for robotic systems. Students will also learn how these tools are pooled together to deliver robotic solutions that can solve important real-world problems, as well as the fundamental challenges and opportunities in robotic research frontiers.
