Understand how modern robots work from first principles: the 5-phase Sense → Perceive → Locate → Plan → Act loop. Learn how AI, physics simulation, and real-time control come together in production robotic systems.
Phases: Sense (sensors, cameras, LiDAR) → Perceive (neural networks, object detection) → Locate (SLAM, pose estimation) → Plan (path planning, MPC) → Act (motor control, joint commands).
