Robotic perception is a crucial aspect of robotics. It lets artificial agents, like robots or software automatons, gather information about their environment to make informed decisions. Perception includes sensing of light information (vision), sound information (audition), tactile or limb-position information (touch/proprioception) and several other aspects that can be integrated to give the agent a sufficient idea of its context. The class discusses the basics concepts, and the history and future directions of robotic perception. Restrictions: Juniors and seniors only. Enrollment limited to 12. Instructor permission required.
