http://roboticscourseware.org Presents concepts, principles, and algorithms for computation and action in the physical world. Topics covered are: motion planning, geometric reasoning, kinematics and dynamics, state estimation, tracking, map building, manipulation, human-robot interaction, fault diagnosis, and embedded system development. Students specify and design a small scale yet complex robot capable of real time interaction with the natural world. Students may continue content in 6.142. Prior knowledge of one or more of the following areas would be useful: control, software, electronics or mechanical engineering. daily 1 2007-10-02T21:46:46Z http://roboticscourseware.org/fullcourses/mit-csail-robotics-science-and-systems/teller.jpg paulina 2008-12-10T22:08:52Z Image image/jpeg http://roboticscourseware.org/fullcourses/mit-csail-robotics-science-and-systems/rus.jpg paulina 2008-12-10T22:08:52Z Image image/jpeg http://roboticscourseware.org/fullcourses/mit-csail-robotics-science-and-systems/roy.jpg paulina 2008-12-10T22:08:52Z Image image/jpeg http://roboticscourseware.org/fullcourses/mit-csail-robotics-science-and-systems/debates Daniela Rus Nick Roy Seth Teller Ara Knaian 2008-12-10T22:08:52Z Folder text/plain http://roboticscourseware.org/fullcourses/mit-csail-robotics-science-and-systems/template-coursepages.html Daniela Rus Nick Roy Seth Teller 2008-12-10T22:08:52Z File text/html http://roboticscourseware.org/fullcourses/mit-csail-robotics-science-and-systems/resources Daniela Rus Nick Roy Seth Teller Jennifer Craig 2008-12-10T22:08:52Z Folder text/plain http://roboticscourseware.org/fullcourses/mit-csail-robotics-science-and-systems/code-repository-1 Daniela Rus Nick Roy Seth Teller 2008-12-10T22:08:52Z Folder text/plain http://roboticscourseware.org/fullcourses/mit-csail-robotics-science-and-systems/code-repository Daniela Rus Nick Roy Seth Teller Ara Knaian RSS Carmen development team 2008-12-10T22:08:51Z Folder text/plain http://roboticscourseware.org/fullcourses/mit-csail-robotics-science-and-systems/challenge Robots today have been used successfully in many domains, from exploring Mars and finding evidence of water, to mapping the health of Coral Reefs, to assisting long-distance drivers, and assembling cars. In our course we will pursue a grand challenge approach to robotics and create new robot bodies and brains. We are motivated by tasks at the frontier of today's robotic capabilities. We will develop solutions for these tasks that are grounded in state-of-the-art algorithms and systems science for robots. We will implement these solutions and test them using a challenge format. Our robots will employ some of the most advanced techniques for perception, navigation, and manipulation to cope with unknown environments, negotiating intricate paths, adapting their next move to obstacles, finding useful objects in the environment, and using them to build a structure. This work will provide our students with the foundations for creating computer systems that interact with the physical world, leading the way from PCs to PRs (personal robots). The grand challenge for this course is Build a Shelter on Mars. Imagine a robot parachuted in a remote and unknown environment such as Mars. We wish for such a robot to move around exploring its new space. After "familiarizing" itself with the space (that is, learning a rough map) the robot will pick a spot for constructing a shelter. This shelter may range from a simple wall to a room-like structure. To do this, the robot will prospect searching and collecting objects for building the structure. The elements needed to solve Building a Shelter on Mars enable other robot applications, ranging from autonomous navigation with dynamic obstacles, searching and rescuing victims at a disaster area, tidying up a room, clearing the dishes in a cafeteria, delivering packages in an office environment, and fetching a glass from the kitchen.
