Course: CMPT 399: Topics in Computer Science | Robotics - Programming and Control
Term: Fall 2022
Section: AS02
Instructor: Dr. Jeffrey Davis
This course offers an introduction to the basic concepts in robotics and the various algorithms used to generate: perception, locomotion, and pathway planning. Students will get hands on experience with both programming micro controllers and building hardware and will apply concepts learned through interdisciplinary projects. It is less about the physics of robotics and more about the programming of them.
Prerequisites: A minimum grade of C- in CMPT 200. CMPT 305 or stong object-oriented programming experience recommended.
Permission Required: Yes
