Certificate "Cognitive Robotics" (Foundation Level)

The "Cognitive Robotics" certificate certifies practical knowledge of machine learning (ML) on robotic systems.

A person with the "Cognitive Robotics" certificate

• knows possible applications of ML on industrial robots (e.g. computer vision for object recognition, reinforcement learning for navigation and gripping objects),
• knows the tool chain for designing solution concepts, data generation, design and training of a neural network, execution on robot control,
• knows transfer learning and knows when it can be used sensibly,
• knows the advantages and disadvantages of simulated learning environments and
• can conceptually design a virtual environment for data generation.
