About the Class

This course will cover basic concepts in autonomous robotics. The course will be project-rich and directly involve robots. The emphasis will be on those concepts necessary for autonomous team humanoid robotics, specifically: Architectures and Behaviors, Kinematics and Dynamics, Sensors, Localization, Robot Learning, basic Hardware Interfaces, and Multiagent Systems. Given additional time, we may also cover Partial Order Planning, Path/Trajectory Planning, Simulation, and Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM).
