MCE550 Robotics and Intelligent Systems

[3–0, 3 cr.]

This course introduces the basic concepts of Robotics. The course discusses coordinate transformation, forward/inverse kinematics, linear/angular velocities, dynamics, equations of motion, and control strategies of serial industrial manipulators. The second part of the course introduces the Robot Operating System (ROS), an open-source framework for robotics applications. The covered topics include ROS architecture, packages, robot modeling, control, simulation, and visualization.

Prerequisites: MEE341 Kinematics of Machines and ELE442 Control Systems
