Introduction to Mobile Robotics.

Catalog description

This course is an overview of mobile robotics and introduces fundamentals of robot modeling and design of wheeled mobile robots including locomotion and kinematics with constraints. It includes several examples of robot sensing such as ultrasonic, IR, Lidar, IMU, or vision sensors. Includes laboratory. The lab provides students relevant experiential learning to strengthen theoretical aspects of robotics and robotics-related algorithms such as line tracking, obstacle avoidance, object following, distance control with encoders, basic analog/digital circuits, electronics, microcontrollers, motor controls, and robot programming. Prerequisites: Completion of all Fundamental Skills; COMP 053 or ENGR 019 with a "C-" or better.
