The Hardware Foundations of Mobility
At the heart of every robot lies hardware — the body through which intelligence acts. We begin our exploration with sensors, actuators, and control systems, because without these elements the concept of autonomy remains abstract. Sensors such as range finders, cameras, inertial measurement units, an...

Seeing the World: Perception and Interpretation
Perception is where autonomy begins to resemble intelligence. A robot must transform raw, often noisy sensor readings into meaningful representations of the world. This challenge is central because no real-world sensor is perfect. Cameras are sensitive to lighting, sonar suffers from specular reflec...
