ROBOTICS

Course Description

This course introduces fundamentals of robot control. Brief review about robots, hardware and robot problems will be explained to give a general idea about the use of robotics. Various types of basic sensors are also be discussed under the issue of robot hardware. Agent function design will be taught to gain robot control algorithm development and design. Robot control programming with mostly used controllers and related programming language concepts will also be covered to improve hardware programming skills of participants of this course. Lectures give the background to the extensive hands-on practical work using the laboratories A practical project will be performed to have an experience about to control a real robots with microcontroller.
