EDSGN 410Robotics Design and Applications
Introduction to robotics, with emphasis on the design of robotics systems through multidisciplinary integration of electrical, mechanical, and software components. EDSGN 410 Robotics Design and Applications (4) The objective of this course is to apply the basic concepts of electrical, mechanical, and software technologies to analyze, design and test a robotics system. This course will draw from skills in prior coursework in electricity and electronics, statics and dynamics, and software design. The course includes a discussion of present applications and future directions of robotics in such areas as manufacturing, science, transportation, military, healthcare, and entertainment. Students will be introduced to mechanical systems analysis, sensors, software development, electrical systems, control algorithms, testing, prototyping, design, modeling, and simulation of robot systems. Students will work in teams to design and prototype a robot to perform a task and to satisfy a set of design requirements. Professional communication and documentation will be included in the course experience. This course is a multi-disciplinary, project-based course and will have a substantial laboratory component supporting team-based design, integration and testing of a robot system.
