    COURSE OBJECTIVE:

    The objective of this course is to develop and expand students’ skills and knowledge in the design and development of robotic devices. Students will use hands-on projects to introduce the basic concepts in robotics, focusing on mobile robots and illustrations of current state of the art research and applications. Course information will be tied to lab experiments; students will work to build, create parts(3-D printed), and test increasingly more complex R/C Tetrix, and Autonomous LEGO-based (Mindstorm/ EV3) mobile robots, culminating in an end-of-year robot contest. This course introduces fundamental concepts in Robotics. In this course, basic concepts will be discussed, including programming in RobotC programming language, sensors, path planning, feedback and testing, stressing the importance of integrating sensors to complete a set of given challenges.
