ROBO 602 Robot Perception
In this course we will study the problem of how robots perceive the world to accomplish navigation and manipulation tasks. You will learn to critically evaluate the sensing requirements of real?world robot application, and to specify the required sensor characteristics to meet design specifications. You will learn about typical robot sensors, in particular cameras and LIDAR sensors, including specifications and models. You will learn how to acquire, process and analyze sensor signals from robot platforms. You will study algorithms to find, locate, track and classify robot scene objects, from camera images and LIDAR point clouds. You will learn about using neural networks to detect and classify objects.
