Overview
Autonomous Mobile Robots will become key in a range of sectors such as agriculture, critical asset inspections, and social care. Students will learn how to develop both kinematic and dynamic models for such robots and how to develop real-time feedback control systems. They will select and implement appropriate navigation strategies so that the robots can undertake autonomous missions. The assessed coursework submissions are based on developing and implementing robotics focused algorithms using the Python programming language.
Aims
Introduce students to the field of autonomous mobile robots, how they can be modelled, controlled, and used in a range of applications.
