In this one hour long project-based course, you will tackle a real-world problem in robotics. We will be simulating a robot that can move around in an unknown environment, and have it discover its own location using only a terrain map and an elevation sensor. We will encounter some of the classic challenges that make robotics difficult: noisy sensor data, and imprecise … [Read more...] about Robot Localization with Python and Particle Filters
Algorithms
Java Classes and Objects
In Object-Oriented Programming in a language such as Java, Classes and Objects are often used interchangeably but there is a distinction between the two. A class is a blueprint for objects. In this project you will create an application that defines a Car class and create one to many Car objects. A Car class contains the common attributes all cars have; color, make and … [Read more...] about Java Classes and Objects
Neural Network from Scratch in TensorFlow
In this 2-hours long project-based course, you will learn how to implement a Neural Network model in TensorFlow using its core functionality (i.e. without the help of a high level API like Keras). You will also implement the gradient descent algorithm with the help of TensorFlow's automatic differentiation. While it’s easier to get started with TensorFlow with the Keras API, … [Read more...] about Neural Network from Scratch in TensorFlow
Simple Nearest Neighbors Regression and Classification
In this 2-hour long project-based course, we will explore the basic principles behind the K-Nearest Neighbors algorithm, as well as learn how to implement KNN for decision making in Python. A simple, easy-to-implement supervised machine learning algorithm that can be used to solve both classification and regression problems is the k-nearest neighbors (KNN) algorithm. The … [Read more...] about Simple Nearest Neighbors Regression and Classification
Where, Why, and How of Lambda Functions in Python
In this project we are going to learn about lambda expressions and it's application in python. We are going to start with what is Lambda expression and how we can define it, comparing lambda functions with regular functions in python and at the end we will learn how to use lambda functions for data manipulation and exploration in pandas. this guided-project is completely … [Read more...] about Where, Why, and How of Lambda Functions in Python
