INTRODUCTION TO ROBOTICS
1. Course Objectives:
This course presents the basic concepts in robotics such as sensors, actuators, and approaches of
robot control. During the course the students will learn the math and computational methods
necessary to model and solve kinematic problems involving robot manipulators and mobile robots.
Students will have the opportunity to apply some of the main concepts covered during the lectures
to construct their own robots and develope control code for various robotic tasks.
2. Course outline:
The course introduces foundations and principles of robotic manipulation. Topics include
computational models of objects and motion, the mechanics of robotic manipulators, the structure
of manipulator control systems, planning and programming of robot actions. The focus of this
course is on the kinematics and programming of robotic mechanisms. Important topics also include
the dynamics, control, sensor and effector design, and automatic planning methods for robots. The
primary applications including robotic arms and mobile robots are given. A term project would
allow students to program robots to participate in challenges or competitions.
