Description: Robots, as seen in many different forms, can help people in various scenarios to improve the efficiency, safety, and quality of task executions. In particular, those robots which can physically interact with the world possess essential skills to engage themselves more comprehensively in the real-world tasks. For example, robots with manipulation skills can help us in factories, kitchens, hospitals, warehouses, construction sites, and even in space or on another planet. This course introduces both fundamental and state-of-the-art knowledge to let students acquire a broad understanding of modern robots. Topics including robot motions, kinematics, dynamics, simulation and Robot Operating System (ROS), hand and grasping, prehensile and nonprehensile manipulation, robot control, and interactive estimation, will be covered. Programming projects are involved to facilitate converting textbook knowledge to solid hands-on experiences. Cross-list: COMP 462. Recommended Prerequisite(s): COMP 450 or 550 Mutually Exclusive: Cannot register for COMP 562 if student has credit for COMP 462.
