NTU Robotic Sensing & Control June

Course Objectives

This course introduces fundamental topics in robotics and intelligent sensing techniques. The objectives of the course are to provide an understanding of robotics and intelligent sensors. Students will be exposed to a broad range of topics in robotics and intelligent sensors, with emphasis on robot sensors basics, vision sensors, estimation using vision sensors, sensor integration and fusion, and visual servo control.

Course outline

Session 1: Robot sensors basics

This opening session introduces robotics and sensors. It covers the recent advances in robotics,sensor basics such as sensor classification and characterization, and several types of sensors that are commonly used in robotics.

Session 2: Vision sensing

This session focuses on vision sensors that are used widely in robotics. It covers an introduction of cameras and application scenarios, pinhole camera model, structure and pose estimation, essential matrix approach, and homography matrix approach.

Session 3: Sensor fusion

This session introduces sensor integration and Kalman filter first. It also presents a Kalman-filter based method for sensor fusion.

Session 4: Visual servo control

This session introduces the applications of visual servo control or vision-based control in robotics. Position-based visual servo control and image-based visual servo control will be presented in the session.

Session 5: Group Presentation by Participants

Duration
3 hours x 5 sessions= 15 hours
