About this Course
This specialization is intended for students seeking to explore the Autonomous Vehicle sector, which is undergoing profound transformation in today’s world. It offers a general overview of modern electronic and information technologies used in the Automotive and Aerospace fields and provides skills for several industrial sectors. Through the courses you will develop a multidisciplinary know-how: the all-important big data management, the principles of modelling and simulation of mechatronic systems, and how to develop the specifications for safe autonomous flight systems. Today an aircraft can fly without a pilot and there are many different applications of autonomous systems, for example delivering a pizza directly to your home. Learn how the planes can find the right trajectory, recognise and avoid obstacles, and turn or increase speed. The lessons focus on case studies in three engineering fields: robotics, controlled electro-hydraulic actuators and smart devices
