 ^ **ECTS credits** | 1 ECTS |
 ^ **Study forms** | Hybrid or fully online |
-^ **Module aims** | To provide foundational and applied knowledge in perception, mapping, and localization for autonomous systems. Students will explore how sensor modalities (cameras, LiDAR, radar, GNSS, IMU) are combined to detect and interpret the environment, build and maintain maps, and determine vehicle position in real time. Emphasis is placed on AI-based perception methods, sensor fusion algorithms, and dealing with uncertainty in diverse conditions. The module connects theoretical foundations with practical techniques used in self-driving and robotic navigation systems. |
