Students work in teams to design, build, program, and test increasingly complex electro-mechanical robots. The course teaches how robots move (locomotion and kinematics), how they sense (perception), and how they reason about their environment (planning). Students are exposed to robotics related career options in the manufacturing, service, and medical industries. Labs consist of extensive hands-on use of autonomous and industrial collaborative robots. This course does not require any prior engineering background. (3 class hours/2 laboratory hours).
