Overview

Learn how to program all the major systems of a robotic car from the leader of Google and Stanford's autonomous driving teams. This class will teach you basic methods in Artificial Intelligence, including: probabilistic inference, planning and search, localization, tracking and control, all with a focus on robotics. Extensive programming examples and assignments will apply these methods in the context of building self-driving cars.

This course is offered as part of the Georgia Tech Masters in Computer Science. The updated course includes a final project, where you must chase a runaway robot that is trying to escape!

Easily one of the very best MOOCs I have ever taken. Sebastian Thrun brings an incredible eagerness to the topic and his examples are very well prepared. He dives right into the key topics of AI for robotics with great toy examples, allowing a newbie to quickly wrap their minds around the system. Then he scales up the problem a bit to add complexity, building up the complexity at a fair pace. At the end of each task you feel like you have accomplished something great.

Also, he pre-writes all the auxiliary code so you can focus on the core important code, not unnecessary plumbing.

good afternoon sir/mam,
This is shaik zainab fathima. I loved this course very much. I want to learn much more innnovative things from you.
Thank you for helping us in this way.

Wonderfully taught! Very elegant building of concepts from minimal discourse. "Show me, don't tell me" leads to deep understanding naturally. Very gifted teacher.

This course provides a comprehensive overview of the AI techniques used for localization and navigation of mobile robots. Exactly what I was looking for.

I only did the first chapter as I was looking for localization algorithms and I thought it was really useful.

Pretty good course. I did not finish it because it overlapped a lot with the first version that Sebastian Thrun did together with Peter Norvig. From the first several units I got an impression that the course is an aggregation of loosely connected topics (as if the authors tried to cover a lot more than they had time for), but nevertheless each topic is well explained.
