This course assumes that you are familiar with concepts from advanced high-school mathematics or undergraduate engineering. The course also assumes knowledge of programming – this will help you understand some of the demonstrations in the videos and is required for the third course in the robotic vision program. This course uses the MATLAB programming language and environment, but your knowledge of programming in other languages can be easily transferred to MATLAB. You can familiarize yourself with MATLAB by enrolling in the Please note that this course includes video content and other visual teaching methods. Blind and visually impaired students may need a helper. You can use the hashtag #FLroboticvision2 to talk about this course on social media.
