MTRE 8100:Advanced Robot Programming

3 Class Hours 0 Laboratory Hours 3 Credit Hours
Prerequisite: Admission to the Interdisciplinary Engineering, Ph.D. program
The key aim of the course is to provide students with a multidisciplinary, creative approach to program the control and development of new robotic components and technologies. This covers activities from both the hard (mechanical/ electrical design and fabrication, sensor systems, actuation development etc.) and soft (control, computer software, human factors etc.) systems areas of robotics. The explicit emphasis will be the use of sensors, such as touch, ultrasonic, or light sensors that allow a robot to interact with the real world around it to how to design and develop complex software for intelligent robotic systems. The course will further provide a rationale for considering emerging cutting-edge approaches and software development systems (i.e: ROS, will be considered). Note: Students who receive credit for MTRE 8100 cannot then enroll in MTRE 6100 for credit.
