Robotics - Master MVA - Fall 2025

Silvère Bonnabel, Stéphane Caron, Justin Carpentier, Ajay Sathya and Pierre-Brice Wieber. Fall 2025 course at Master MVA, Paris.

Abstract

A large part of the recent progress in robotics has sided with advances in machine learning, optimization and computer vision. The objective of this course is to introduce the general conceptual tools behind these advances and show how they have enabled robots to perceive the world and perform tasks ranging, beyond factory automation, to highly-dynamic saltos or mountain hikes. The course covers modeling and simulation of robotic systems, motion planning, inverse problems for motion control, optimal control, and reinforcement learning. It also includes practical exercises with state-of-the-art robotics libraries, and a broader reflection on our responsibilities when it comes to doing research and innovation in robotics.
