INTRODUCTION TO INTELLIGENT ROBOTICS

Catalog description

This course introduces students to the basic knowledge of programming of robotic systems, including algorithmic modeling and design, geometric motion planning and robot operating systems, all for making intelligent robots. Computer science is an integral part of robotics as it includes areas such as computer algorithms, computational geometry, artificial intelligence, machine learning and image processing. The material covered in this course consists of a brief description of the intrinsic geometry, kinematics, statics, mechanics and controls of robotic systems and goes deeper into developing algorithms and useful software libraries. In addition, this course introduces practical examples and performance results using them with hands-on experience in a lab setting.
