Introduction to Autonomous Robots

This is the first course to introduce students with latest robotic technology with a hands-on project that involves robotic conceptualization, designing and programming. This course first starts with basic linear algebra foundations, and then examines fundamental aspects of autonomous systems including motors, actuators, sensors, mobile robot, drive mechanisms, and programming. The course concludes with techniques for integrating mobile robots and robot manipulators into a complete system. A team-based final project requires students to integrate a mobile or robot manipulators to accomplish a specified task.
