Intelligent Robots
This course explores the world of intelligent robots. Intelligent robots are characterized by their ability to autonomously plan and execute motion sequences; to achieve a goal specified by a human user without detailed instructions. This is in contrast to most current industrial robots that have to be pre-programmed with very little adaptability in their task execution. Intelligent robots can also be characterized by their ability to operate in an uncertain and changing the environment with the help of appropriate sensing, such as computer vision.
