The objective of this course is to define two concepts. The first concept is that the design and final appearance of an autonomous system (actually any system) is directly coupled to the mission it was intended to complete. You therefore never find something like a “generic system”. The second concept is that there is a disciplined and structured thinking process that should be followed to ensure that the intended result is achieved from the design process.

Description

Course Overview:

This course is part of ART Academy and the objective of this course is to define two concepts. The first concept is that the design and final appearance of an autonomous system (actually any system) is directly coupled to the mission it was intended to complete. You therefore never find something like a “generic system”. The second concept is that there is a disciplined and structured thinking process that should be followed to ensure that the intended result is achieved from the design process.

The course is intended to be very “hands-on” and is based on discussions and information sourced from the internet. The first part is more informal whereas the second part is more formal in nature.

Course Objective:

• Gain a deep understanding of autonomous systems design principles and their real-world applications

• Develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills essential for tackling complex challenges

• Learn to identify and analyze system requirements and translate user needs into technical specifications.

• Acquire hands-on experience through practical exercises and discussions

Course Content:

Lecture 1: Introduction & Getting started – Explore the Rules of Engagement, Teaching strategy, and the lecturer’s previous work. Understand What defines an autonomous system, The purpose of each vehicle’s existence, and The design in relation to the mission..
Lecture 2: Identifying the problem – Learn about Subsystem identification, Reverse engineering, and The user’s requirements.
Lecture 3: Understanding the process – Delve into The scientific & The engineering process.
Lecture 4: The Principles – Discover the importance of Writing ideas down, Conceptual/Philosophical Building Blocks.
Lecture 5: The Thinking Process – Explore Asking questions, understanding thought processes, Taking responsibility, Rework, and Core thought.
