This is the web site for CS 3630 "Introduction to perception and Robotics", a gateway course into the new Intelligent Systems curriculum.

SOON: Class photos!

It counts as a specialization course in IS, and serves as a prerequisite to three other  courses: Advanced Robot Programming (with Sony Aibos), Computer  Vision, and Machine Learning.

The course covers the fundamental problems and the leading solutions for computer and robot perception and action selection. Topics are approached primarily from the point of view of autonomous robot navigation -- what and how must a robot perceive the world, and how can it use that information to navigate effectively? The course includes a series of challenging programming projects using an advanced mobile robot simulation system. This course is appropriate for undergraduate students with strong programming skills.

In these pages you will find more information on course logistics, the syllabus, the schedule, supporting materials, projects, and additional resources.
