CS225A: Experimental Robotics, Spring 2022
Class: Tue, Thu 3:15-4:45pm.
Please see the schedule below and monitor announcements.
The goal of this class is to introduce you to the intricate art of programming articulated robots.
The course will review the basics of control theory in the first half of the quarter, and will require groups of
three to four students to implement a motor task on one of our available robotic manipulators.
Most projects involve some aspect of robot control, computer vision, and potentially some mechanical engineeering,
so teams should ideally posess programming as well as some mechanical expertise.
The choice of project is yours! We expect great things...
