Course Description:
Robotics systems are beginning to serve a broad range of new and diverse roles in multiple aspects of modern society. But how are these robots designed and how are they developed? You will learn:
-
-
Basic robot building and embedded programming skills
-
How to apply the design process to identify a problem and design a solution
-
Instrumentation orientation and digital signals; CODEBREAKER, Bouncy2000, Hand of ROB trio; Choose-Your-Own-Adventure Scanner; robot mission simulation; and CAD
-
Term Project:
Propose a robot application, research the problem and stakeholders, build proof of concept and simulation of application
Labs:
Exposure to the electro-mechanical processes behind robotic sensing, decision-making, and actuation. Basic embedded software and state-machine formulation.
