Robotics: Science and Systems (R:SS) Course Webpage

This course will be a Masters degree level introduction to several core  areas in robotics: kinematics, dynamics and control; motion planning;  state estimation, localization and mapping; visual geometry, recognition of textured objects, shape matching and object categorization.  Lectures on these topics will be complemented by a large practical that  exercises knowledge of a cross section of these techniques in the  construction of an integrated robot in the lab, motivated by a task such as robot navigation. Also, in addition to lectures on algorithms and  lab sessions, we expect that there will be several lecture hours  dedicated to discussion of implementation issues - how to go from the  equations to code.This course will be a Masters degree level intr
