Sensor Fusion and Perception

Sensor Fusion and Perception is a free, self-paced learning path in Engineering & Robotics, written at General Public / 9th Grade reading level. Across 15 structured stations, you will work through the core ideas step by step, each with a short quiz to check your understanding. By the end you will be able to define robot perception systems; explain sensor data collection; analyze sensor data limitations.
