EGR 4210 Robotic Manipulation
This course will explore advanced fundamentals relevant to robotics engineering. These topics will prepare students for careers as robotics engineers or to pursue cutting-edge robotics research and technology development in graduate programs. Topics include advanced kinematics and dynamics applications for robotics, trajectory and motion planning, and advanced dynamic modeling with mechatronic actuators, transducers, and vision sensors. Students will use MATLAB to develop their own robotics algorithms and controls and test them in simulation. Real robots like manipulator arms, quadrupeds, and drones will be demonstrated and analyzed in class.
