(only for SU students)
The course covers fundamental problems of autonomous mobile robotics including locomotion, reception, localization, planning and navigation. In the context of locomotion, legged, wheeled, flying and swimming mobile robots will be discussed. In the reception part, various sensors that are used on mobile robots will be introduced and several sensor fusion algorithms will be presented. Localization problems will be tackled in a probabilistic framework using Markov and Kalman Filtering techniques. Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) problem and its variations will also be introduced and discussed. Finally planning and navigation strategies will be covered.
To teach fundamentals of autonomous mobile robotics that include locomotion, perception, localization, mapping, planning and navigation of mobile robots so that students can acquire a solid theoretical background and hands-on experience in mobile robotics.
After taking this course, students should be able to:
- evaluate various locomotion mechanisms including legged, wheeled and flying locomotions.
- analyze motion kinematics of non-holonomic wheeled mobile robots
- quantify mobility and maneuverability of wheeled robots
- design feedback controllers for motion control of the wheeled mobile robots
- select appropriate sensors for perception including non-visual and visual sensors
- implement localization algorithms using Markov and Kalman filters
- implement simple SLAM algorithms using Extended Kalman filter (EKF)
- synthesize optimal paths using artificial potential functions
- demonstrate hands-on experience with Lego Mindstorm EV3 robots
