Learn the basics of probability - the language of robotics. This lesson will focus on the math. In later lessons you'll apply this math in Python code.
In order to infer meaning from noisy sensor measurements, a self driving car needs to use the math of Conditional Probability. Learn this math from Sebastian (and then apply it in the next lesson).
Your chance to learn basic Python syntax while applying what you learned about probability and conditional probability in the last two lessons.
Learn about Bayes' Rule from Sebastian and get your first peek at how a self driving car uses Bayes' Rule to understand where in the world it is.
In this lesson, you can expect a lot of hands-on practice programming Bayesian probability in Python, and representing a 2D world that you'll need to localize a car.
Learn how a robot represents it's belief about uncertain quantities using something known as a **probability distribution**.
Apply what you've learned in this course by programming and visualizing probability distributions.
You will work with a specific continuous probability distribution called the Gaussian distribution. A Gaussian distribution helps describe uncertainty in sensor measurements and a vehicle's location.
Sebastian Thrun will give you an overview of the theory behind localization!
Write the `sense` and `move` functions for a 2 dimensional histogram filter in Python.
