MTRE 6100:Advanced Robot Programming

3 Class Hours 0 Laboratory Hours 3 Credit Hours
Prerequisite: Admission to the MS program in Intelligent Robotic Systems
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 and how to design and develop complex software for intelligent robotic systems. The course will further provide a rationale for considering emerging innovative approaches and software development systems (e.g., Robot Operating System (ROS) will be considered).
