MTRE 8400: Advanced Topics in Mobile Robots

3 Credit Hours
Prerequisite: MTRE 8100  
Autonomous mobile robot research is one of the most important branches in robotics. In this course, the basic principles and technologies of autonomous mobile robots are covered. The topics include kinematics and dynamics, sensors and actuators, control system design, localization, mapping, and path planning of mobile robots. Experiments and/or simulations are utilized to validate the learned knowledge. Significant programming skills are expected. Note: Students who receive credit for MTRE 8400 cannot then enroll in MTRE 6400 for credit.

This course may be cross-leveled with MTRE 6400
