Advanced Topic 41 of 50 Mobile, Embedded & IoT
Robotics Fundamentals
Sensing, planning and acting machines.
How it works
Robots follow a sense-plan-act loop: sensors perceive, software estimates state and plans motion, controllers drive actuators; topics include kinematics, localization, mapping and path planning.
Where it is used
Manufacturing, drones, vacuum cleaners.
Common pitfall
Real-world noise breaks idealized models.
Where it fits in the course
Robotics Fundamentals is topic 41 of 50 in Mobile, Embedded & IoT, rated Advanced. It follows PCB Design Basics. The next topic is ROS.
