In this one hour long project-based course, you will tackle a real-world problem in robotics. We will be simulating a robot that can move around in an unknown environment, and have it discover its own location using only a terrain map and an elevation sensor. We will encounter some of the classic challenges that make robotics difficult: noisy sensor data, and imprecise movement.
