Course contents :
|
| 1: Basics: SE(3) geometry, sensors, actuators, controllers, kinematics. 2: Mobile robots: Locomotion, localization, navigation, SLAM. 3: Arms and grippers: Reaching, grasping, grasp learning. 4: Computer Vision: Feature extraction (Edge, Harris), Fitting (Ransac, Hough), Tracking (Kalman, Nonparametric), Object recognition (PCA, probabilistic model).

|
Learning outcomes of the course :
|
| At the end of the course, students will be able to:
- Extract information from video streams (identity/position of objects/persons, body pose, 3D structure).
- Plan actions from sensory data (navigation, grasping, via optimization, learning or control).
- Translate these actions into a sequence of motor commands that can be executed on the robot.
A group project will allow students to practice the concepts studied in class. Students will program a robotic agent capable of processing images, plan actions, and execute these actions on a robot. The agent will be evaluated in a robot simulator (V-REP). |
|
Prerequisites and co-requisites/ Recommended optional programme components :
|

|
|
Planned learning activities and teaching methods :
|
|

|
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning) :
|
| Face-to-face delivery. |
|
Recommended or required readings :
|
| The course is largely based on the book Robotics, Vision and Control: Fundamental Algorithms in MATLAB, written by Peter Corke, published by Springer in 2011. See the course page (http://renaud-detry.net/teaching/info0948/) for download and purchase information. |
|
Assessment methods and criteria :
|
| Group project (evaluating the assimilation of practical notions) and exam (evaluating the assimilation of theoretical notions). |
