Intended Learning Outcomes (ILOs)

What is the main purpose of this course?

This course is an introduction to the field of robotics. It covers the fundamentals of kinematics, dynamics, and control of robot manipulators, robotic vision, and sensing. The course deals with forward and inverse kinematics of serial chain manipulators, the manipulator Jacobian, force relations, dynamics, and control. It presents elementary principles on proximity, tactile, and force sensing, vision sensors, camera calibration, stereo construction, and motion detection. The course concludes with current applications of robotics in active perception, medical robotics, autonomous vehicles, and other areas.

ILOs defined at three levels

Level 1: What concepts should a student know/remember/explain?

By the end of the course, the students should be able to ...

  • Model the kinematics of robotic systems.
  • Compute end-effector position and orientation from joint angles of a robotic system.
  • Compute the joint angles of a robotic system to reach the desired end-effector position and orientation.
  • Compute the linear and angular velocities of the end-effector of a robotic system from the joint angle velocities.
  • Convert a robot’s workspace to its configuration space and represent obstacles in the configuration space.
  • Compute valid path in a configuration space with motion planning algorithms.
  • Apply the generated motion path to the robotic system to generate a proper motion trajectory.
  • Apply the learned knowledge to several robotic systems: including robotic manipulators, humanoid robots.

Level 2: What basic practical skills should a student be able to perform?

  • List the major design parameters for robot manipulators and mobile robots
  • List the typical sensing and actuation methods used in robots
  • Analyze the workspace of a robot manipulator
  • List the special requirements of haptic devices and medical robots
  • Effectively communicate research results

Level 3: What complex comprehensive skills should a student be able to apply in real-life scenarios?

By the end of the course, the students should be able to ...

  • Describe rigid body motions using positions, orientations, frames, and mappings
  • Describe orientations using Euler angles, fixed angles, and quaternions
  • Develop the forward kinematic equations for an articulated manipulator
  • Describe the position and orientations of a robot in terms of joint space, Cartesian space, and operational space
