4 courses with the subject ROBO, each shown exactly as we captured it from the college's catalog, with every element we hold. Where the wording looks broken, that is our reading of the catalog, not the college's text.
ROBO 1100Agile Robotics I3
This course provides a basic introduction to the field of robotics technology with particular emphasis on first-generation agile robotics as characterized by remotely piloted mobile robots. Because of the multidisciplinary nature of robotics, the student is exposed to many facets of robotics including concepts from computer, electrical and mechanical disciplines with a focus on engineering processes. The laboratory component features activities to solidify lecture concepts and team-oriented, hands-on projects to solve basic robotic problems. Two two-hour studio sessions per week.
This course continues from Agile Robotics I by delving into the details of second-generation agile robotics technology as characterized by mobile robots with autonomous behaviors. Course highlights include use of software tools, further details of robotic systems, application of robot control programming, motion planning and additional applied technician skills. The laboratory component provides discovery activities to solidify lecture concepts and team-oriented, hands-on projects to solve autonomous robotics problems. Two two-hour studio sessions per week.
Modeled from the third generation of agile robotics evolution, this course explores the concept of adding inter-robot communications to autonomous robotic platforms to support swarming behaviors. Swarming capability is a common requirement of both industrial and personal robotic systems to achieve collaborative tasks using a team approach. Two lecture-hours and three laboratory-hours per week.
This project-based course integrates learning objectives of the robotics engineering technology program along with project management principles. Under the approval of the instructor, students will identify and realize a semester-long project based on mobile robotic technologies. Three hours of lecture.
