5. COURSE OBJECTIVES

1. Provide students an introduction to real-time robotics systems. (Criterion 3(a))

2. Students will learn to analyze and design robot manipulators. This includes a study in hardware components -- the basic

sensors, actuators, and support electronics -- as well as the kinematics and servo controller for real-time operation.

(Criterion 3(a))

3. Students will work in teams to develop a graphical simulation of a robotic system using a high-level language and graphics

package. (Criterion 3(k))

6. TOPICS AND (# OF LECTURES)

Overview of robotics systems and their programming (4)

Homogeneous transformations (5)

Direct kinematics (2)

Inverse kinematics (2)

Actuators and their modeling and drive (7)

Simulation and control of joint actuator systems (6)

Position and velocity sensing (4)
