In this course, you will delve into the groundbreaking intersection of AI and autonomous systems, including autonomous vehicles and robotics. “AI for Autonomous Vehicles and Robotics” offers a deep exploration of how machine learning (ML) algorithms and techniques are revolutionizing the field of autonomy, enabling vehicles and robots to perceive, learn, and make decisions in dynamic environments. Through a blend of theoretical insights and practical applications, you’ll gain a solid understanding of supervised and unsupervised learning, reinforcement learning, and deep learning. You will delve into ML techniques tailored for perception tasks, such as object detection, segmentation, and tracking, as well as decision-making and control in autonomous systems. You will also explore advanced topics in machine learning for autonomy, including predictive modeling, transfer learning, and domain adaptation. Real-world applications and case studies will provide insights into how machine learning is powering innovations in self-driving cars, drones, and industrial robots. By the course's end, you will be able to leverage ML techniques to advance autonomy in vehicles and robots, driving innovation and shaping the future of autonomous systems engineering.
In the first module, we describe several types of robotics and explain key technologies for self-driving cars. We will also explain the application of AI in autonomous systems.

When will I have access to the lectures and assignments?
To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
What will I get if I subscribe to this Specialization?
When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Specialization, and you earn a certificate when you complete the work. Your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.
Is financial aid available?
Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.
