Description: Robots are now a wide spectrum of various embodiments, e.g., humanoids, dogs, industrial arms, drones, and self-driving cars, and they are rapidly merging themselves into our society. While we are not fully ready to welcome them, yet, we are more than certain that we need to work with them in ways that we did not know before. On the one hand, we are still challenged by many technical problems to enable robots to be more dexterous and robust. On another hand, in a time where resources are connected and networked, we need to design novel systems to manage different robots, share the robots, or even make them autonomously and adaptively build teams. In this senior design course, we will develop team-based projects and will look into a robotized future with our imaginations: we will either solve problems that are technically going to enhance the robot skills, or address problems that will make future robots more useful and more organized in the real world. Background in robotics is not required. In our creative projects, your efforts in developing core robot algorithms, databases, machine learning systems, web applications, mobile apps, LLM models, or anything else that can be useful, will together make this robotized world a better place.
