Robotic Manipulation and Locomotion

(4 Credits)

This class introduces basic notions of robotics, from sensors and actuators to kinematics, dynamics, motion planning and control with specific example applications for object manipulation and legged locomotion. Basic algorithms necessary for any robotics practitioner interested in robots with arms and legs are studied in the class. A special emphasis is made on providing a practical experience to students, with a laboratory enabling the implementation of the learned concepts in real applications. Background in calculus, physics, linear algebra and programming are necessary to follow the class. | Prerequisite: CS-UY 1114 and MA-UY 2034 and PH-UY 1013 or equivalents (see Minor in Robotics)
