Course Description

In the near future, robots and autonomous systems will revolutionize our lives. They will change everything from travel (self-driving vehicles), to work (job automatization), to medicine (biomedical robotics), and even our domestic lives (household robots).

This course will cover current and future robotics developments. Learn how robots perceive the world around you, how robotics draws inspiration from nature and how robots will interact with humans.

This will give you a better understanding of the basic principles and challenges of robotic design and show how research is helping to overcome them.
