This course will introduce the various concepts and components of the autonomous navigation process for autonomous vehicles.

You must have a good understanding of the introductory and intermediate courses in control systems, vehicle kinematics, and be able to develop a model of a system for navigation. System components include various types of sensors and actuators and state-of-the-art technologies.

The course will cover the application of the autonomous navigation process to the state-of-the-art driverless vehicles, as well as automated vehicles. The main concepts covered include locomotion, autonomous navigation and intelligent path planning and perception.

In the laboratory practicals, you will devise strategies and create behaviours to be exhibited by an autonomous vehicle. The driverless vehicle equipped with the autonomous behaviours that you have designed and created, is expected to perform a complex set of tasks autonomously.
