Programme Overview

Phase 1: April 2026 (Online)

AI/ML for Robotics – Fundamentals focusing on simulations and coding. Activities include registration, webinars, and structured assignments.

MODULE & WHAT YOU EXPLORE ASSESSMENT
FoundationsScope of AI/ML in Robotics; Intelligent & Rational Agents. ASSESSMENTMake a conceptual design of Wheeled Mobile robot and sensors to perform collision avoidance write a python script showing logic.
Agent TypesSimple reflex, model-based, goal-based, and utility agents. ASSESSMENTWrite a Python script to simulate a mobile robot moving in grid space, avoiding collision with timid reaction.
Symbolic AIProblem-solving agents; state-space representation; search strategies. ASSESSMENTWrite a Python script to simulate a mobile robot moving in grid space, avoiding collision until it reaches its goal using a heuristic path planning algorithm.
Logic & UncertaintyFirst-Order Logic; probability theory; Bayes’ theorem. ASSESSMENTWrite a Python script to simulate a mobile robot moving in grid space, avoiding collision until it reaches its goal using a heuristic path planning algorithm, assigning random errors to the earlier code.
Planning & LocalizationClassical/heuristic planning; dead reckoning principles. ASSESSMENTWrite a Python script to perform localisation based on the dead-reckoning principle.
Probabilistic EstimationBayesian framework; Kalman Filter (KF) formulation. ASSESSMENTImplement Kalman filtering for noisy sensor data (given or random). Generate random sequence numbers, assign error %, and implement Kalman filtering in a Python script.
Advanced FilteringAlpha–Beta–Gamma filtering; linear system assumptions. ASSESSMENTImplement mapping for a random set of data generated in Python and apply Alpha–Beta–Gamma filtering.
Control SystemsReactive vs predictive control; PID tuning and stability. ASSESSMENTWrite a Python script to implement PID control for randomly generated localisation error and generate a PWM control signal.
Monte Carlo MethodsParticle filtering; importance sampling and resampling. ASSESSMENTImplement particle filtering-based localisation in a Python simulation.
SLAMSimultaneous Localization and Mapping; mapping challenges. ASSESSMENTImplement SLAM in a Python simulation.
