CSCI 6280: Mobile Robotics, Spring 2005

Announcements

Course description

This course will cover mobile robot localization and mapping in depth. We will develop a thorough understanding of the current state-of-the-art, including Kalman filter and Markov/Monte Carlo approaches to localization. We will be reading papers from the research literature, and there will be a final project for the course. We will spend some time looking at related work in computer vision, as well as approaches to multiple robot mapping and localization.

The only formal prerequisite is DSA, but familiarity with the basic ideas/mathematics of localization (least squares estimation and probability and statistics) as well as a reasonably sophisticated math background (linear algebra and probability) is expected. This is a graduate-level class.
