Disgrifiad cryno

This module covers a range of different aspects to consider predominately in terms of software for developing robotic applications. Throughout the course, the topics will be considered in the context of a range of applications for robotics such as space and planetary exploration; outdoor off-road autonomous navigation; and assistive robotics in the home. The practical application of the robotic systems will be developed through gaining an understanding of robotic middleware used within industry.

Nod

This module aims to support students developing skills for developing robotic applications with a good understanding of the techniques involved and considerations that need to be made depending on the application being developed.

Cynnwys

The content will be split into three broad strands; theory, robot middleware, and applications, with topics overlapping between the strands. Each strand will consist of approximately 10 lectures. The typical topics covered in each strand are described below:

Theory:
• Control techniques
• Forward and inverse kinematics
• Mapping and localisation techniques
• Trajectory and path planning
• Ethical implications of robotic applications

Robot Middleware (supported through practicals):
• What it is and how it works
• Implementing robotic behaviours within the middleware
• Tools for supporting visualisation of robotic systems
• Packages for assisting with kinematics and mapping

Applications:
Typically covering three domains for robotic applications such as space and planetary exploration; outdoor off-road autonomous navigation; and assistive robotics in the home.
