About This Course

Programming a robot to see requires understanding the principles of vision, and having mathematical knowledge and programming skills. We start by considering the question, ‘What is vision?’ You’ll learn about human vision and aspects of sight, including light, reflection, perspective and how cameras work. Robot vision relies on these same principles but uses cameras and computers instead of eyes and a brain.
