Robotics and Machine Learning

Course Description

The goal of the course is to give the theoretical and practical skills in reinforcement learning applications, e.g. robotics and target tracking. In such applications, we try to determine some property of a system or some other quantity based on noise-corrupted measurements from sensors. The course will motivate the need for various filtering techniques such as Kalman filters and particle filters using a number concrete examples taken from robotics.

Course topics

Probabilistic Robotics, Bayesian filtering, Simultaneous Localization, and Mapping.

Course tools

Python, R.

Prerequisites

Basics of Probability Theory, Basic knowledge of Python, R or another programming language.
