Objectives of the Course

The main aim of the course is to give a brief introduction to the artificial intelligence, introduce its application in the various fields of human activities, including more or less autonomous robotic systems

Course Content

This course will introduce students to the growing field of mechatronics, advanced robotics systems and machine learning and artificial intelligence. Students will research and design "intelligent" robotic systems that solve real world problems by learning and refining their skills in mechanization and control, sensors, machine learning programming and data collection that leads to logic and predictive outcomes

Name of Lecturer(s)
