18-448D: Special Topics in Embedded Systems: Autonomous Robotics II

Units:

12

Description:

Machine learning and robotics have recently made great strides. This course aims to combine the two topics in a fun and hands-on course that is broadly accessible and encourages discovery. Software implementations include learning the robotoperating system (ROS2), convolutional neural networks for object detection, and computer vision techniques. Students will learn how to develop a miniature self-driving robot based on the Jetson Orin Nano platform and the RealSense camera for vision. Since this is a pilot course, students will be encouraged to discover their own robotic application tasks.
