This course provides an overview of robotics, including kinematics, dynamics, controls, and applications. It covers topics like motion planning, mechanism design, multi-body dynamics simulations, control design, actuators, sensors, and software. Weekly labs give experience with drives, controls, and embedded software. Students design and build robotic systems in groups for a term project. Assessments include assignments, quizzes, group projects, a midterm, and final exam.
