-
Sensor technologies and detection methods
-
Decision-making mechanisms and basic algorithms
-
Control systems and control loops
-
Introduction to path planning and obstacle avoidance algorithms
-
Communication protocols used in autonomous systems (I2C, SPI, CAN, etc.)
-
Autonomous system architecture
-
Basic applications using the Python language
-
Examples of autonomous system applications in industry, defense, transportation, and robotics
Learning Outcomes
Participants who successfully complete this training will attain a level of knowledge that enables them to explain the fundamental building blocks and operating principles of autonomous systems. By understanding the relationship between sensors, perception, decision-making, and control loops, they will be able to interpret basic sensor data and develop simple perception and control applications. Additionally, they will understand the basic principles of path planning and obstacle avoidance algorithms and become familiar with common communication protocols such as I2C, SPI, and CAN. Furthermore, they will gain the competence to evaluate the applications of autonomous systems in various fields such as industry, defense, transportation, and robotics.
