Introduction to Robotics: Kinematics, Planning and Control

Systems Hub / Robotics and Autonomous Systems · 4 Credits

In this course, fundamental concepts and modelling methods of modern robotics are introduced: Kinematics, motion planning and control. These components are integrated to model, design, and control of mobile robots and manipulators to serve engineering or scientific needs. Students will learn: (1) basic concepts of robotics; (2) how to use mathematical methods to model kinematics of mobile robots and manipulators and understanding the physical meaning behind these models; (3) the classical algorithmsto plan robot motion and the idea behind them; (4) how to design controllers with consideration of motion and force, including traditional methods and learning methods; and (5) how to design and implement algorithms on a real mobile-manipulation robot system during the course project.
