CMSC 679 - Introduction to Robotics

[3]

Fundamental concepts, methodologies and algorithms related to autonomous mobile robotics, touching on mechanical, motor, sensory, perceptual and cognitive aspects of the problem of building robots that move and decide what to do on their own. Specific topics covered include legged and wheeled location, kinematic models and constraints, mobile robot maneuverability, motion control, sensors and sensing, perception, localization, belief representations, map representations, probabilistic map-based localization, autonomous map building, planning, reacting and navigation architectures.
