Embodied Intelligence¶
The robot loop from observation to action: space and embodiment, software systems, perception and state estimation, planning and control, learned policies, and moving from simulation to hardware.
Start here¶
-
Get Started
A fourteen-day perception loop: frames and cameras, ROS 2, a 6DoF pose project inside ROS 2, then a taste of imitation learning.
-
Overview
What robotics, embodied intelligence, imitation learning, RL and VLA each are.
-
Roadmap
From concepts to a simulated loop, then choose perception, control, policy or systems.
Knowledge¶
-
Space & Embodiment
Frames, rigid transforms, kinematics and dynamics.
-
Software Systems & Simulation
ROS 2, topics and transform trees; how data reaches the actuators.
-
Perception & State Estimation
Filtering, SLAM, detection and 6DoF pose.
-
Planning & Control
Path and trajectory planning; PID, LQR and MPC.
-
Learned Policies
Imitation learning, diffusion policies, RL and VLA.
-
Sim-to-Real
Domain randomisation, system identification and hardware reliability.
-
Toolchain & Ecosystem
Where ROS 2, Isaac Lab, MoveIt, Nav2, SLAM systems and EtherCAT fit.
