Session 1
Mobile Robot Technologies
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), lifting and moving packages around the Carts or peoples at Amazon fulfillment Center, self-driving cars are typical type of mobile robots, and the robots are being used as the medical service robot to deliver materials 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.
