ECE 548 - Introduction to Robotics

3 credit(s)
A project-based multidisciplinary introduction to robotics, involving concepts from the fields of electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, and computer science. Topics covered include robot classifications, kinematic and dynamic modeling, path planning, sensor performance and integration, actuators, controls and programmable embedded computer systems, system integration, and robotic applications. Projects consist of team-based hands-on exercises where students design and build robots. Students are expected to be familiar with electronic circuits and computer programming. This course may be optionally chosen by undergraduates in lieu of ECE 448 with commensurate course objectives.
Prerequisite(s): Graduate or senior standing in engineering.
Laboratory fee. Note(s): No credit given to students who have completed ECE 448.
