Overview
Intelligent robotics combines artificial perception, strategic reasoning and robotic action in potentially unstructured and time-varying environments to accomplish useful physical tasks. This unit provides an advanced survey of the fundamentals and recent research underpinning the above capabilities, including modelling, machine perception, mapping, path planning, localisation, control, artificial intelligence methodologies and application domains. As part of the unit, you will learn to conduct graduate-level research in intelligent robotics.

Learning outcomes
When you finish this unit, you should be able to:
- 1
Analyse the current state of the art in terms of component design, sensing/actuation and algorithms required to develop an intelligent robot.
- 2
Critically appraise robot systems and research outputs developed by others.
- 3
Independently formulate a research problem, generate a solution and corresponding validation plan, apply the validation plan and describe the research, by completing a graduate-level research project in the field of advanced intelligent robotics.
