Introduction to Robotics

(3 Credit Hours) · Undergraduate

This course will guide students through the construction of a student designed, full motion, mid-size droid/robot. As part of the class, students will design and construct a robot using 3D printing, CAD, motion control systems, electrical circuits, sound systems, lighting systems, sensors, various communication protocols (serial, I2C, and Bluetooth), and Python programming on a Raspberry Pi. Students can build the robot as a team of two or as an individual project. The class provides an extensive build kit containing various components, materials, and tools for the project. During the final demonstration, the robot will complete various challenge courses and demonstrate unique character routines to fully demonstrate the final robot build.
