Advanced Robotics Systems

Catalog description

This course reviews the interplay between control and robotics through introducing theory and demonstrating applications. It aims to provide an in-depth coverage of control design for robotic manipulators and mobile robots. We focus primarily on fundamental theory, control design methods, and their application on practical robotic systems. Topics may include modeling of robotic systems, linear/nonlinear control of robotic systems, control of under-actuated robotic systems, optimal control, adaptive control, behavior-based robots. Course projects will emphasize modeling, simulation and practical implementation of control systems for robot applications.
