Prerequisite: CS 5020
This course covers the-state-of-the-art artificial intelligence techniques in Robotics. It covers basic concepts of robots and methods of artificial intelligence in robotics. This course begins by describing what the latest generation of artificial intelligence techniques can do. After an introduction of some basic concepts and techniques, the course illustrates both the potential and current limitations of these techniques with examples from a variety of applications. We spend some time on understanding the strengths and weaknesses of human decision-making and learning, specifically in combination with AI systems. Exercises will include hands-on application of basic AI techniques as well as selection of appropriate technologies for a given problem and anticipation of design implications. In a final project, groups of students will participate in the creation of an AI-based robotic system.
