Unified Robotics IV

This is the final course in a four course sequence combining mechanical engineering, electrical & computer engineering and computer science to develop both the theory and practice of robotics engineering. The focus of this course is navigation, position estimation, simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) and communications. Control systems as applied to navigation will be presented. Human robot interaction (HRI) and remote sensing for mobile robots will be introduced. Advanced topics such as cooperative robotics, robot vision, and sensor fusion can also be introduced. The laboratory sessions will be directed towards the solution of an open-ended problem over the course of the entire term.
