Students
will build and program small mobile robots
and learn the basic principles and
techniques of robotics. Initially,
students will learn to adapt a simple
robot by making small changes, and by the
end of the semester will be designing,
building, programming, and debugging
robots from scratch.
This
course presents an overview of robotics in
practice and research with topics
including vision, motion planning,
sensors, remote control systems,
autonomous operations and artificial
intelligence. An important component of
the course will be course projects:
students will construct several
microcontroller driven robots with each
project addressing a particular
engineering challenge.
Students
will enter their robots into competitions
such as US First, Battle Bots, and The
Science Olympiad.
