Course Description and Objective:
Robotics is a major application field of Computational Intelligence and Mechatronics. A robotics course is specified as an essential technical elective course both by IEEE and ACM, the two international occupational institution of computer engineering. A robotics course is essential in all three legs of Mechatronics: Mechanical, Electronics, and Computer Engineering. This course is especially tailored for Computer Engineers in a design-oriented format.
This robotics course consists of an introduction to robotics, the kinematics of manipulators, differential motion relations, robot dynamics, path and trajectory planning, actuators, sensors, vision systems, and computational intelligence through fuzzy logic. The course include project to develop a software for each section of the course material, yielding to a intelligent robotic simulation tool.
The objective of the course is to cover the kinematics, dynamics and path planning together with the important subsystems such as image processing and vision, sensory, programming, decision, and fuzzy rule based intelligence systems in an introductory level. The course may be equivalently useful both for the advanced studies in Computer Engineering and for a senior level technical elective purpose.
