Autonomous Mobile Robotics.

Catalog description

This course emphasizes the design of autonomous robots. Students study architectures for robot organization and mechanisms for mobile robots, actuators, sensors to develop localization, perception, cognition, mapping, navigation, and control utilizing sensing technologies. The course covers multi-agent systems, human-robots interaction, and heterogeneous systems including ground robots and drones. Students also study the design of algorithms, knowledge representations, and decision-making with a single board computer. Includes laboratory. The lab provides students relevant experiential learning to strengthen theoretical aspects of robotics and the development of algorithms. Prerequisites: Completion of all Fundamental Skills; IDEA 130 with a "C-" or better or Junior or Senior standing with COMP 53 or ENGR 019 with a "C-" or better.
