Modern Robotics and Control.

Catalog description

The course covers modern robotics and their controls from industrial robotics to mobile manipulators, drones, submarines, vessels, or collaborative robots. Students learn robot structures and modeling, statics, kinematics and dynamics, motion planning (based on waypoints or velocity profiles), grasping objects, and robot controls for manipulating or tracking. The course also introduces general robots (Cobot, FANUC, Mitsubishi, etc.) used for machine tending or material handling. Prerequisites: Graduate or blended students in the School of Engineering and Computer Science or permission of the instructor.
