CSC 415/415L/515/515L Introduction to Robotics/Lab

Credits: (3-1) 4

An introduction to mechatronic systems and embedded systems for robotics. This course will cover the basics required for autonomous mobile robotics. The course will begin with a survey of existing systems and some background mathematics. Core course topics will include electromechanical components, electronics for motor control, sensors and instrumentation, mobile robotic kinematics and movement, microcontrollers, real time computing, and embedded system design and development. Course projects will include student teams building task oriented mobile robots with emphasis on the hardware development.

Prerequisites: CSC 300 with a grade of “C” or better, and MATH 321
Corequisites: CSC 415L or CSC 515L
