Overview
Intelligent robotics concerns the melding of artificial perception, strategic reasoning and robotic action in potentially unstructured and time-varying environments to fulfil useful physical tasks, whether in industry or for security, healthcare, search and rescue or civil defence etc. This unit covers topics underpinning the above requirements, including sensors, sensor fusion, machine perception, environmental mapping/monitoring, path planning, localisation, mechanisms, artificial intelligence methodologies and application domains.

Learning outcomes
When you finish this unit, you should be able to:
- 1You will gain an understanding of the physical structure, sensing/actuation and programming required to develop an intelligent robot. You will be able to specify the robotic mechanism, its sensors and actuators and then be capable of programming and integrating these components into a functioning robot system. By considering case studies, you will be able to critically appraise robot systems developed by others.
