Syllabus

Calendar Entry:
This course provides an introduction to mathematics and algorithms underneath state-of-the-art robotic systems. The majority of these techniques are heavily based on probabilistic reasoning and optimization – two areas with wide applicability in modern AI. We will also cover some basic knowledge about robotics, namely geometry, kinematics, dynamics, control of a robot, as well as the mathematical tools required to describe the spatial motion of a robot will be presented. In addition, we will cover perception, planning, and learning for a robotic system, with the obstacle avoidance and robotic arm manipulation as typical examples.
