Syllabus

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.
