| DESCRIPTION | Formal methods originate from theoretical computer science and have become a vibrant and interdisciplinary field. At its core, formal methods include formulating specifications to form proof obligations, verifying that the systems indeed meet their specifications via algorithmic proof search, and designing systems to meet those obligations. This course introduces fundamental theories and techniques of formal methods that apply broadly to various dynamical systems, such as robots, autonomous systems and cyber physical systems. Particularly, the following major topics will be covered: formal modeling of systems, formal properties such as regular and omega-regular properties, simulation and abstraction, linear temporal logic (LTL), automata based model checking and game theoretic formal control synthesis and real world engineering applications. |

| DESCRIPTION | Embodied Intelligence, also known as Embodied AI, is a form of artificial intelligence that integrates physical bodies with intelligent systems. This integration allows these systems to perceive, reason, and interact with the physical world in a manner similar to humans. It represents advancement in the field AI, bridging the gap between digital algorithms and the physical world. Different key components and techniques used in the systems are introduced like sensors (cameras, LiDAR, microphones,tactile sensors,MEMS, etc.) used for perception, neural networks for deep learning, NLP for human interaction. Especially the big data collection (from real world and/or via simulation) and several learning methods will be analyzed. Last but not least the applications in robots, humanoids, autonomous driving etc. will be addressed. |
