Transcript
Learning outcomes
- Describe the main challenges of working with autonomous systems and the ways in which we might meet these challenges.
- Explore some basic principles of robotic design.
- Apply knowledge of where developments in robotics are heading and their potential effect on our future.
- Explain existing and potential real-life robotic applications.
Syllabus
Robots and autonomous systems are set to change our lives in the not-too-distant future; from travel (self-driving cars), to work (job automation), to medicine (biomedical robots), and even domestic life (household robots).
On this course, we’ll look at current and future developments in the field of robotics. You’ll learn how robots sense the world around them, how robotics takes inspiration from nature, and how robots will work with humans.
You’ll build up a picture of the principles and the fundamental challenges of robotic design and learn to demonstrate how research is working to overcome these.
