Autonomous Robotics

This course introduces participants to the foundations of robotics and computer vision. The unit introduces the technologies and methods used in the design and programming of modern intelligent robots, and encourages critical thinking about the use of robotic technologies in various applications. The objective of this course is to provide the understanding of the basic concepts and challenges in developing mobile robots that act autonomously in complex environments. The course introduces several types of robots such as wheeled robots, legged robots and drones.

The Learning Objective:
1. Develop an understanding of the basic concepts of mobile robot development and application in both civilian and military applications.
2. Develop an understanding of the key technical elements required for robotics application such as locomotion and environment perception and motion planning
3. Develop an understanding realistic problems in robotics and computer vision at an introductory level.

Digital Badging – a new way to gain qualifications!

Digital Badges are used by educational and learning organisations as competency-based signifiers of achievement. Now you can achieve a civilian university recognised academic credential, being a Digital Badge from Queensland University of Technology (QUT) through completing any Cove+ unit and passing the test of objectives.

For a 10 hour course, organisations like QUT often charge over $600 for this type of training and the issue of a Digital Badge.

If your course is an AQF 4 or 5 level course (vocational), you can do a ten question quiz to gain a badge. But be careful, this isn’t Campus course, you need to know the content to pass! If your course is an AQF 6 or 7 level course (undergraduate), then you need to submit an 800 word essay which will be assessed by a QUT lecturer.

Digital Badges are issued within 10 working days of unit completion.

You can share your Digital Badges to your LinkedIn profile, note it on personal CVs, and even include it in email signature blocks. See the examples below of a Cove+ module Digital Badge.
