About the Course

How can robots determine their state and properties of the surrounding environment from noisy sensor measurements in time? In this module you will learn how to get robots to incorporate uncertainty into estimating and learning from a dynamic and changing world. Specific topics that will be covered include probabilistic generative models, Bayesian filtering for localization and mapping....

Leanring of mechanism and implementation of Kalman filter and particle filter from experiment is very interesting for me. And these method let me know more about map building in SLAM framework.

The material is clearly presented. The Matlab exercises complement and reinforce the subject, the level of difficulty is well balanced, thanks for this great course.

this course is great but i felt that the staff are assuming that we know a lot about probability which is not correct , week 4 is very poor and it's very hard to understand it ,hope they can fix this.

need more lectures. there are complicated topics with weak background for the students.

except that it is a great course. thanks..

Very little lecture material needed to find a lot of additional information to fully understand the presented concepts.

The videos shall last more. The subject of each week is very interesting, but the explanation are very short.

Some more help or examples should have been provided for the programming exercises, especially the last one

This course is very useful and interesting, but the materials of week 2 & 4 is enough for their quizs.

Poor structuring of assignments. Unclear objectives and wrong input data.

Course Content was good.

The assignments were very confusing, you should explain them a bit more in the lecture videos.

Wish had a proper explanation and more detailed derivations or understanding of basics

The material covered is very interesting. However, I am a bit disappointed by the lecture format and the assignment preparation. It is good to have concise lectures that stick to the core of the subject. However, in this case, they were not very clear. Additionally, the assignments tend to be cover different material from the lectures. Besides, they are not well explained and it is difficult to understand what is required. You basically end up doing a lot of trial and error. Luckily, the blog contains very useful posts from other frustrated users.

Very important materials are explained super briefly. I would only suggest it for getting familiar with the estimation "keywords and terminologies" or for someone who wants to brush up his/her prior knowledge in estimation. The total session time for all 4 weeks together is only a few hours and the homeworks do not cover the session topics.

The lectures does not provide enough information and dig into the underlying principles. Lectures that are supposed to be half an hour are condensed into several minutes. Of all the courses in this series, I rely on external resources and forums the most to finish this one. I honestly think the teaching staff could do a better job.

The programming assignments are interesting, however they are not well documented nor are they well constructed. Lecture videos are just a few minutes each week, and do a very poor job of setting up assignments or explaining the material. You will spend most of your time on the forums, and doing your own research.

All in all, it's a very interesting, absolutely necessary topic for robotics. But everything is treated here without theory tests, detailed examples and the like, so learning is only tested with programming tasks. The student must work a lot with MATLAB to come up with crafty solutions for week practices.

When I took, assignments 2 and 4 were broken and there were no mentors to help students. However, I am now told they will be fixing the course. I give 2 stars becuase the concepts of the assignments is good, but the course needs more attention.
