This course is offered to graduate students and final year undergraduate students. Research in robotics and autonomous ground vehicles has been more and more extensive. There are many theoretical findings and real-world applications of robotics and autonomous systems in the industry. This course will introduce the general prinicples of robotics and autonomous systems. Students will learn modeling, kinmeatics, dynamics, sensing, planning and control of robotics and autonomous system at the graduate level. Students who successfully complete this course will be able to conduct research in autonomous systems, sensing, planning and control of robotic systems, such as robot manipulators and unmanned ground vehicles. |
