Session 1
Mobile Robotics
Let the robot move with hands-on experiences
The course introduces students to mobile robotics which can be seen in many areas such as vacuum cleaning robot (iRobot Roomba), delivering foods at restaurants, moving packages at warehouses like Amazon fulfillment Center, self-driving mobile vehicles, and medical service robot to deliver materials to save lives or communicate doctors with peoples including patients, or even actively utilized in military.
The mobile robotics consists of locomotion (propelling to move such as electric motors), perception (sensing technology), and so on where you will learn from basic electronics, electrical circuits to test sensors, and basic programming (C/C++) to control the robot propulsion to get goals such as line tracking, obstacle avoidance, object following, or vision sensing for obtaining goals used in many applications.
