Need, engaged in artificial intelligence, need mathematical foundation: advanced mathematics, linear algebra, statistical probability mathematics and stochastic process, discrete mathematics, numerical analysis. The accumulation of algorithms is necessary: artificial neural network, support vector machine, genetic algorithm, etc. Of course, there are necessary algorithms in navigation, mapping and other fields of robot positioning environment, and slam also needs to be studied. In short, many algorithms need time to accumulate. At least one programming language should be mastered: after all, the realization of the algorithm needs programming; If you study materials further, some basic electrical courses are essential.
