An advanced course in robotics that covers mechanisms (kinematics and dynamics), actuators, sensors, signal processing, feedback control, and signal processing. The target is to provide a general understanding of sensorimotor systems that can be related to machine learning and other disciplines. We will relate to biological systems whenever possible. Programming exercises will accumulate code for a simulated mobile manipulator and students will pit their "robots" against those of their classmates. pre-requisite: linear algebra, differential equations, and programming skills.

Open to CMPSCI graduate students only. Undergrads with permission of Instructor.

Permission is required for interchange registration during the add/drop period only.
