Introduction
Intelligent Systems and Robotics, ZAT216, explores the topics of robotics, machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI). You will learn about intelligent systems and how they are used at a broad and introductory level. Through online learning activities and workshops, you will be given the knowledge to design and develop a robot to perform basic tasks. Working independently and or in teams, you will develop a robotics or systems project applying theory to practice. You will report on the overall project design, implementation, outcomes and key learnings, and reflect on how you managed yourself and relationships.
