| 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. |
