ME 469 Contents

• Robotic Kinematics

  • Geometry of rigid body motion
  • Linear Algebra (Matrix Algebra)

• Image Processing

  • conceptually simple
  • lots of programming

• Artificial Intelligence

  • again, programming...

• Motion Planning

  • yet more programming...

• However, robotics fundamentally is a computer controlled machine.

• Three “hands-on” projects:

  • Basic robotic programming (VAL)
  • PUMA development project
  • vision based control project or mobile robot project (Nomad)
  • others?
