CS491/691 Autonomous Mobile Robot DesignThe goal of this course will be to introduce students into the holistic design of autonomous robots - from the mechatronic design to sensors and intelligence. The course will have five "teaching blocks", namely: a) actuation and robot locomotion, b) sensing and robot perception, c) control and robot guidance, d) motion planning and autonomous navigation, e) remote control and robot GUI and will be 100% project-driven. The students will be spitted into teams and each team will design a robot in order to solve a specific application and challenge. As an example: a team project might be "aerial robots for multi-modal characterization of industrial facilities" or "robots with advanced traversability abilities for mountain operations". The final challenges will be derived based on real-requirements of federal agencies or needs of specific industries.

Robotics Short SeminarsThe "Robotics Short Seminars" correspond to a set of biweekly talks that are be provided in order to cover current trends in robotics research. These presentations are very research oriented and students are invited to attend, actively raise their questions, express interest to participate in relevant research efforts, and broadly be proactive.
