Stage 11 · Computer Vision for Robotics (Vision Foundations)

Parts 1–4: vision foundations → feature/object detection → calibration/depth/pose → Vision-Guided 6DOF Pick & Place capstone bridging Stage 8 IK / Stage 9 trajectories / Stage 10 ROS concepts. Educational browser canvas sims only (not OpenCV / not YOLO / not live cameras / not industrial accuracy). Soft-recommend Stages 2/10; hard locks cleared; no payment gating.
