Requirements (Subjects that are assumed to be known)
Programming (C, C++, Python, Matlab, etc.)
Objectives
The main goal of this course is to give the students an overview of the state-of-the-art sensors, techniques and applications for 3D perception related to robotics. The practical component will play a key role, where students will work with 3D point clouds, applying techniques that allow a robot to perceive its surrounding environment.
