This
course addresses the problems of controlling and motivating robots to
act intelligently in dynamic, unpredictable environments. In this
second installment, the course will focus on the robot perception
problem. Major topics will include robot vision, visual servoing, and
state estimation techniques. To demonstrate these concepts, we will be
looking at mobile robots. Lectures will be complemented by projects,
discussions, and in-class presentations by students. The projects will
focus on programming actual robots to perceive and react to their
environment.
