This intermediate-level course presents a hands-on introduction to robotics. Each participant will construct and modify a robot controlled by an Arduino-compatible microcontroller. Topics include kinematics, inverse kinematics, control-theory, sensors, mechatronics, and motion planning. Material will be delivered through one weekly lecture and one weekly guided laboratory. Assignments include a lab-preparatory homework, guided lab sessions, and out-of-class projects that build upon the in-class sessions. Participants will use the Makerspace facilities to fabricate and demonstrate their robots.
Prereq: COMSC-109 or COMSC-201.
