Content

Sensing and interacting with the environment in robotics is achieved using computer vision and speech processing techniques. In this unit, you will analyse various existing computer vision and speech processing algorithms and their application in robotics to navigate and act in a real-world scenario. You will investigate state-of-art machine learning techniques that can be used in the field and develop novel solution involving computer vision and speech processing.
