Catalog Description

This course familiarizes students with several core areas of robotics, including control, perception, AI, and autonomy. Topics are approached primarily from the point of view of autonomous robot navigation - what and how must a robot perceive the world, and how can it use that information to navigate effectively - however, the studied topics are more broadly applicable in other areas of robotics.  The class will apply the foundational concepts discussed in the lecture on a Turtlebot3 Burger platform and work through the theory to practice gaps in robotics.

Catalog Description
Seniors will work in teams to apply a systematic design process to real multi-disciplinary problems. Problems selected from a broad spectrum of interest areas, including biomedical, environmental, mechanical, industrial design, electrical and thermal/fluids. Projects must be based on the knowledge and skills acquired in earlier course work, and incorporate appropriate engineering standards and multiple realistic constraints. Emphasis is placed on the design process, the technical aspects of the design, and on reducing the proposed design to practice. The course consists of faculty and guest lectures, prototyping in design studios, and a multi-disciplinary design project.
