Sensor Fusion Engineer, co-created with Mercedes-Benz

ABOUT THIS NANODEGREE

During Sensor Fusion Course, you will learn how to detect obstacles in LIDAR point clouds. You will track objects using segmentation and clustering.

The program will teach you the skills that most engineers learn on-the-job. It’s very hands-on so after completing the course, you have a chance to start your career in self-driving cars or robotics. This program will provide you with extensive knowledge of sensors like radar, cameras, and LIDAR, as well as all types of robots. At the end of the course, you will have a nice portfolio of projects. A very important part of this course is also Kalman filters. You will try to build extended and unscented Kalman filters for tracking nonlinear movement.

The course takes around 4 months to complete. If you want to enroll, you need some C++ knowledge, as well as experience with probability, calculus, and linear algebra.

SENSOR FUSION ENGINEER NANODEGREE BENEFITS

Sensor fusion engineering is one of the most essential and exciting fields of robotics.

This Sensor Fusion Course will teach you the skills that most engineers learn on the job or in graduate studies: how to fuse data from numerous sensors to monitor nonlinear motion and objects in the environment. Self-driving cars, drones, and other sorts of robots use sensors like cameras, radar, and lidar to detect their environment. Analyzing and combining this data is critical to the development of an autonomous system.
In this Nanodegree program, you will identify and track cars and pedestrians using camera pictures, radar signatures, and lidar point clouds. You will have an excellent portfolio of projects to show companies by the time you graduate. Use the skills you gain in this program to pursue a career in robotics and self-driving vehicles.
