Individual studies and/or experimental investigation of problems of current interest in manufacturing.

Teams or individuals apply the knowledge and skills acquired throughout the MS program to a faculty supervised robotics project.

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.

Intermediate topics including multidimensional transient conduction, diffusion, boundary layers, internal flows, radiation, heat exchangers, multimode transfer, and numerical methods with a project-oriented approach.

Independent research conducted under the guidance of a faculty member.
