# Computer Vision for Robotics

> Learn how computer vision enables robots to perceive and interpret their surroundings. Through mentor-led sessions and practical scenarios, explore vision pipelines, perception basics, and robotics applications.

## Overview

Computer vision plays a critical role in robotics by enabling machines to interpret images, detect objects, and understand their surroundings. This mentor-led programme introduces the essential concepts behind vision systems used in robotics and intelligent machines.

Participants explore how cameras, sensors, and image processing pipelines enable robots to perceive their environment. The course uses practical scenarios to demonstrate how visual perception supports navigation, object detection, and automated decision-making.

By the end of the programme, learners will understand how computer vision pipelines work, how perception systems integrate with robotics platforms, and how visual data supports automation tasks. The programme emphasises real-world applications across robotics, manufacturing, logistics, and autonomous systems.
