- The robotics and artificial intelligence (AI) fuelled by the rise in computer processing power, the profusion of data, and the development of techniques such a ‘deep learning’ is undergoing a major transformation.
- AI-enabled Robots are growing beyond being the workhorses of industrial shop floors, and beginning to assume the roles of personal assistants, delivery vehicles, surgical assistants, assist doctors with medical diagnoses, exoskeletons, driverless vehicles, and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), among many others.
- Given that Robotics and Artificial Intelligence have an important degree of interdependency, this course brings together these two areas and offers conceptual grounding in intelligent systems, and the chance to apply theoretical knowledge in a practical setting.
