CSCI 265 - Robotics

Type of Course: Lecture, Laboratory
This course presents an introduction to robotics. In addition to algorithmic issues, the course will cover related engineering and system topics and discuss current research problems. Topics covered include hierarchical paradigms, biological foundations, robot actuators and sensors, sensing techniques, kinematics, and dynamics, control, localization and motion planning. Students will get hands on experience through computer simulation or physical experiments with robot project-component kits. Students should be interested in geometric concepts and algorithms and have good programming skills.

Prerequisites: Prerequisites for this course require a grade of C- or better. Algorithms (CSCI 160 ) and familiarity with matrix algebra (MATH 130 ), or instructor’s permission.
