Description

ROBOTICS I (6668) One Term Credit: ½

This class is designed to introduce students to the concepts of Robotics and Automation. Students will explore concepts such as mechanical design, pneumatics, electronics and programming. The students will use some of the same equipment that is currently used by our Robotics Club to construct and evaluate working robotic systems. The class will also use programmable Lego kits to build small working robotic models and conduct research using web based tutorials. At the conclusion of the class, the students will build a small, programmable, electronic robot that incorporates all of the fundamental ideas taught in class.

ROBOTICS II (6669) One Term Credit: ½

This course is recommended for students who have completed Robotics I (6668) and wish to continue their study of more advanced robotic systems, including programming in Java. This course may be taught concurrently with Robotics I.
