About the course
A mobile robot is a robot that is capable of moving around in a physical environment. This course teaches fundamental theories and algorithms in mobile robotics, including mapping, localization, and navigation. The theory is applied by constructing software for mobile robot systems using a robotics middleware (e.g., the Robot Operating System, ROS). The course includes an introduction to a robotics middleware. The developed robot software is tested using physical robots and/or advanced simulators.
