The goal of this course is to introduce students to robotics principles, covering key topics such as 3D transformations, robot kinematics, forward and inverse kinematics, path planning, configuration spaces, sampling-based planning, basic motion control algorithms, and state estimation for mobile robots, which includes mapping, localization, and SLAM. Students will gain hands-on experience in programming robots in the Java threejs environment. In later projects, they will have the opportunity to control real-world robots using their virtual counterparts and codebase. There will be a open-ended final project where students can apply their skills acquired throughout the semester to explore new ideas. They will present their projects to a wider audience through poster presentations and demos.
This course builds on and is indebted to materials from -
- Prof. Chad Jenkins (Univ of Michigan) and the staff of autorob.org
- Prof. Dieter Fox (Univ of Washington),
- Prof. Cyrill Stachniss (Univ of Bonn),
- Prof. Nikolaos Papanikolopoulos (Univ of Minnesota),
- Prof. Junaed Sattar (Univ of Minnesota)
