COURSE DESCRIPTION:
This course provides an introduction to the key AI and intelligent systems issues involved in autonomous robot development. It is a "hands-on" class requiring the students to develop and evaluate their own robot control systems. We will survey the inspiration and motivation for autonomous robot systems, the unique challenges in this field and the wide range of solutions developed thus far. This course is appropriate for graduate and advanced undergraduate students with strong programming skills.
PREREQUISITE:
