Robotics for Autonomous Vehicle Systems Bootcamp

  This rigorous, twelve-week experience is conducted by leading experts in industry and academia. You’ll develop a deep, technical understanding of how to build autonomous systems by learning to program a mobile robot through hands-on approaches using ROS, Gazebo, and Python. Following an introduction to mechatronics and kinematics, group assignments will be established, and the hardware will be sent to your location of choice allowing participants to put these principles to practice in the comfort of your home or office. You’ll learn and apply software engineering principles such as SLAM; Localization; Navigation/Path Planning; Perception: LiDAR, Cameras & Vision and Visual Intelligence; and Machine Learning.
