ME696: Advanced Robotics
Autonomous Robotics, a challenging technology milestone, refers to the capability of a robot system that performs intervention tasks requiring physical contacts with unstructured environments without continuous human supervision. Such a robot system underlies several emerging markets and applications, including security and rescue operations, space and underwater applications, military applications, and the health-care industry. This course intends to provide graduate students with advanced methods in robotics suitable for autonomous operation, such as task prioritization, auto-calibration and target interaction. Students will have the possibility to perform experimental activities with the SAUVIM robotic manipulator as part of the course.
