This is a course where we will explore various aspects of the broad field of Robotics. In theory and practice.

We will explore fundamental questions such as "What is a robot", "What makes a machine a robot", explore concepts like

  • Machine & Motor Control,
  • Perception through Sensors & Sensor Systems
  • Autonomy vs. Remote-control
  • Decision-making algorithms and State-machines
  • Modular design

We will build machines, or components of machines that can be assembled together in different configurations (i.e. Modular Machines) We will learn how to program these machines to move according to local and remote perception, and local and remote decisions. We will learn how to make the distincte modules of such a system aware of each-others presence and state, and lean about inter-processor communication.
