• Sensors, Sensor properties, Error sources
• Coordinate frames and transformation – Earth inertial, ECEF, navigation, body
• Map representations, scan matching, next best view planning, loop closure
• ICP-SLAM, GraphSLAM, Continuous-time SLAM
• Inertial navigation, Lidar-inertial sensor fusion (practical)
• Multi-sensor systems, Sensor fusion basics, Complementary characteristics of sensors

• Design an appropriate sensor system and select techniques to explore unknown spaces
• Appraise the use of different map representations in a given scenario
• Apply the appropriate coordinate frames and techniques
• Analyse point clouds with appropriate computational methods 

Master program entry-level requirements on Linear Algebra and Calculus (Bachelor completed or three years of university studies). Accepted students need to bring their own laptop with Wifi and Linux, preferably Ubuntu installed (dual-boot can be installed). Optional but useful: experience with c++, docker, ros.org.
