Robotics (CITS3241)

Course Description

Robotics is a multi-disciplinary topic involving the integration of techniques from computer science and artificial intelligence, as well as mechanical and electronic engineering. This course concentrates on the computer science aspects of robotics. Topics covered include robot kinematics, manipulator singularities and dexterity. Algorithms for trajectory generation, path planning and obstacle avoidance are also covered, along with other aspects of programming intelligent behaviour for robots. The laboratory work is a series of exercises designed to test technical competence and the ability to apply knowledge in robotics, simulation and programming skills.

Advisable prior study: Students must have the ability to program in a high-level language and the ability to reason in multi-dimensional linear algebra and calculus.
