Aerial Robotics
How can we design nimble micro aerial vehicles that can function independently in crowded indoor and outdoor environments? You’ll learn about flight mechanics and the construction of quadrotor flying robots, as well as how to create dynamic models, derive controllers, and synthesise planners for use in three-dimensional settings via aerial robotics. You’ll learn about the difficulties of locating and moving in complicated, three-dimensional settings utilising noisy sensors. Finally, you will get insight into the rapidly-growing drone business by viewing real-world examples of potential uses and problems with the help of aerial robotics.
Computational Motion Planning
A mechanism capable of exerting pressures and torques on the environment, a sensory system for perceiving the world, and a decision and control system that modifies the robot’s behaviour to accomplish the intended goals are common components of robotic systems. In this course, we’ll look at how a robot determines what to do to fulfil its objectives. This issue is known as Motion Planning, and it has been formulated in a variety of ways to simulate diverse scenarios. You’ll learn about graph-based techniques, randomised planners, and artificial potential fields, which are some of the most prevalent approaches to solving this problem.
Mobility for Robotics
In an unstructured environment, how can robots use their motors and sensors to move around? You’ll learn how to create robot bodies and behaviours that use limbs and other appendages to apply physical forces to provide dependable mobility in a complex and dynamic environment. We propose a method for assembling basic dynamical abstractions that automates the creation of complex sensory programmes in part. Mobility in animals and robotics, kinematics and dynamics of legged devices, and design of dynamical behaviour via energy landscapes are just a few of the subjects that will be discussed.
Perception in Robotics
How do robots understand the surroundings and their own actions in order to navigate and manipulate objects? In this session, we’ll look at how pictures and videos captured by robot cameras are converted into features and optical flow representations. We can then extract 3D information about where the camera is and which direction the robot travels using such 2D representations. You’ll learn how 3D posing of things may help you comprehend objects more easily, and how visual odometry and landmark-based localization can help you navigate.
Pursuing Estimations and Learning via Robotics
From noisy sensor data in time, how can robots identify their state and the characteristics of their surroundings? This session will teach you how to train robots to consider uncertainty while estimating and learning from a dynamic and changing environment. Probabilistic generative models, Bayesian filtering for localization, and mapping will be among the topics discussed.
Robots will eliminate 6% of all employment in the United States by 2021, according to a Forrester research. McKinsey’s prediction is much more ambitious: by 2030, one-third of all American employment may be automated.
