About Course *This course is available only in Japanese.
Lane-keeping is a basic technology for autonomous driving. What engineering techniques are needed to achieve this? Here, you will discover the fun and excitement of “sensing” and “feedback control” by challenging virtual experiments and simulations of line tracing (controlling a robot to move automatically along a drawn line) of a LEGO robot.
You can use MATLAB, which is necessary to run the simulations, for free while you are taking the course. It is always available free of charge to students, faculty, and the Institute of Science Tokyo staff.
You need an edX account to attend this course, so please create it first.
