Robotics-II (Spring Semester)
Robotics- II will be offered during the Spring semesters, starting in mid-January, as a continuation of Robotics-I. The students and teams from the Robotics-I course will be maintained during the Robotics–II course to ensure continuity for the design process and enhanced learning experience. Robotics-I will be made a pre-requisite for the Robotics-II and no new student will be allowed to take the Robotics–II separately.
The Robotics-II course learning objectives are that students will:
- be able to describe stationary and mobile robot kinematics in mathematical frameworks
- study signals and systems representation and filtering operations
- learn the basics of wireless communication in robotics applications
- study advanced sensors and their operations
- utilize advanced control algorithms including state-space approach
- perform peer-mentoring activities at college and high school levels.
According to the course modules and the project timeline, teaching and hands-on laboratory activities will be performed simultaneously in the same room (EC 275) to maximize the true learning experience. Each team will prepare two progress reports, one around the mid-term, and the other one at the end of the spring semester just before going to the IEEE regional competition. The proposed course modules for Robotics-II are given in Table below as well as in syllabus.
