Course Description

Generic

A research-methods based course to study advanced topics in robotics and control system design with emphasis on field robotics, unmanned aerial and ground vehicles, planning algorithms, autonomous systems, telerobotics, Human Robot Interaction (HRI) and other related areas. The course prepares students to do independent work at the frontiers of robotics and control research.

This year

This course introduces essential concepts and analytical tools to understand the dynamics and associated control systems for common robot tasks such as manipulation, grasping and locomotion. Topics include forward and inverse kinematics; path planning, collision avoidance and trajectory generation; robot body and actuator dynamics; sensory feedback and trajectory tracking; stability, disturbance rejection and force control.

Objectives

  • Introduce mathematical foundation of robot motion and control in a general setting.
  • Introduce ideas of configuration space, path planning and trajectory generation.
  • Teach use of geometric and dynamical models in robotics.
  • Highlight control theoretic issues in trajectory planning and sensory feedback.
  • Introduce practical applications of robotics in mobile manipulation tasks, tele-operation, automated assembly, manufacturing, home and service industry.
