EECS 4421, Introduction to Robotics
The course introduces the basic concepts of robotic manipulators and autonomous systems. After a review of some fundamental mathematics the course examines the mechanics and dynamics of robot arms, mobile robots, their sensors and algorithms for controlling them. A Robotics Laboratory is available equipped with a manipulator and a moving platform with sonar, several workstations and an extensive collection of software.
Labs
Labs typically cover following topics:
- Robotic Manipulator
- Forward and Inverse Kinematics
- Robot Locomotion and Sensing
- Robot Vision
- Manipulator Velocities and Forces
- Control concepts
Equipment
Following robots and arms are utilized for the labs.
CRS Plus Robotic Arms A150 and A255 and Pioneer 3AT Mobile Robot.
The CRS Plus Arms are nearing the end of their life and as such four new Kinova Genlite robotic arms have also been recently obtained.
