A
2-week summer course in designing, building, and programming computer
controlled robots which are able to function autonomously in complex,
real-world environments. LEGO Technics components are used for structures
and gear trains. Various mechanical and photodetection sensors provide
sensory integration and behavioral control. Participants work in groups
to complete laboratory exercises. Topics to be covered include : mechanical
design with LEGO, sensors and feedback control, C programming, multi-tasking control strategies,
and an end of course robot competition.
