Autonomous Robotics

3 credits · Undergraduate

This course introduces robotic systems from a computational perspective. We will consider the definitional problems for robots and look at how they are being solved in practice and by the research community. The emphasis is on algorithms, inference mechanisms and behavior strategies, as opposed to electromechanical systems design. The course will broadly cover the following areas: Kinematics and Dynamics; Feedback Control; Localization and Mapping; State Estimation; Planning and Decision Making. PREREQUISITES: CSCI 2150.03 and MATH 1030.03 and (CSCI 2360.03 or STAT 2060.03), each with a grade of C or better
