This course introduces you to various concepts and components of autonomous systems in an autonomous mobile robotics context. The main concepts covered include locomotion, vehicle kinematics, autonomous navigation and intelligent path planning and perception. System components include various types of sensors and actuators and state-of-the-art technologies.

In the laboratory practicals, you will devise strategies and create behaviours to be exhibited by an autonomous mobile robot. The robot equipped with the autonomous behaviours that you have designed and created, is expected to perform a complex set of tasks autonomously.
Please note that if you take this course for a bachelor honours program, your overall mark in this course will be one of the course marks that will be used to calculate the weighted average mark (WAM) that will determine your award level.
This applies to students who commence enrolment in a bachelor honours program from 1 January 2016 onwards. See the WAM information web page for more information.
