E 333 - Networked Autonomous Robotics

3 Credit Hours

Prerequisite: CS 231, CS 335, and MAT 242 Corequisite: EL 333 and MAT 337. This course deals with networked, autonomous and intelligent mobile robot systems. It is designed to help the student to develop fundamental understanding of planning and control issues for multiple autonomous mobile robotic systems. The course covers autonomous robot locomotion, mobile robot kinematics, perception using various sensors in robot systems, map building and localization, planning and navigation, and cooperative control of multiple robots. Results of current research and on-going research issues in the field of autonomous robotics are introduced in the course. Projects and hands-on lab experiments for the course are designed to enhance the student’s understanding and knowledge of autonomous robotics.
