About This Course

AI for Autonomous Systems: Overview gives you a clear map of how machines are made to sense, decide and act without a human in the loop. You learn the building blocks common to all autonomy — perception, localisation, planning, decision-making and control — and how they combine across domains from robots and drones to self-driving vehicles. The course introduces the key AI methods at an accessible level and confronts the safety, reliability and ethical questions autonomy raises. You finish with a grounded overview of autonomous-systems AI. A verified e-Certificate of competency and e-Marksheet from the Deep Science & Technology Consortium.

🎯 Program Aim

This overview course covers AI for autonomous systems — how perception, decision-making and control combine to let machines act on their own across robotics and vehicles.

📋 Course Objectives

1. Explain the autonomy stack: perceive, decide, act.
2. Understand perception and localisation.
3. Grasp planning and decision-making.
4. See how control closes the loop.
5. Weigh safety, reliability and ethics.
