Students can name the main sensor principles used in robotics.

Students can explain the data flow from physical measurement through digitization to the use of the recorded data for feature extraction, state estimation and semantic scene understanding.

Students are able to propose and justify suitable sensor concepts for common tasks in robotics.

The lecture supplements the lecture Robotics I with a broad overview of sensors used in robotics. The lecture focuses on visual perception, object recognition, semantic scene interpretation, and (inter-)active perception.  The lecture is divided into two parts:

In the first part a comprehensive overview of current sensor technologies is given. A basic distinction is made between sensors for the perception of the environment (exteroceptive) and sensors for the perception of the internal state (proprioceptive).

The second part of the lecture concentrates on the use of exteroceptive sensors in robotics. The topics covered include tactile exploration and visual data processing, including advanced topics such as feature extraction, object localization,semantic scene interpretation, and (inter-)active perception.

Attending the lecture Robotics I – Introduction to Robotics is recommended.
