Purpose: Content: Unit 1 - Sensing for Data, Data Analysis and Artificial Intelligence The use of sensors for the collection of data used by the robots to makes sense of the environment. The analysis of this data towards artificial intelligence. Unit 2 - Bio inspired Robotics and Biometrics Bio inspired robotics considers the concepts from nature and applies these concepts in the design of real-world engineered systems. Unit 3 - Exploring Robotics (Air, Sea and Space) Robots are used to explore the air (e.g. drones), the sea (e.g. underwater drones) and space (e.g. Rover on Mars). The unit considers the features and criteria required for such exploring robots. Unit 4 - Navigation and Orientation (SLAM and Path Planning) For mobile robots, the simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) is required to position and orientation robots. The SLAM algorithms are considered. Unit 5 - On the Horizon and Potential Impact The status quo of robotics is considered in terms of predications for future applications and development. The impact of agility robotics and the development of Boston Dynamics is considered.
