Robotics

Robotics,

How can robots use their motors and sensors to move around in an unstructured environment? You will understand how to design robot bodies and behaviors that recruit limbs and more general appendages to apply physical forces that confer reliable mobility in a complex and dynamic world. We develop an approach to composing simple dynamical abstractions that partially automate the generation of complicated sensorimotor programs. Specific topics that will be covered include: mobility in animals and robots, kinematics and dynamics of legged machines, and design of dynamical behavior via energy landscapes.

What people are saying

very interesting

Overall, the course was very interesting.

the problem of mobility can not be well covered in short time, but this course gives a good introduction to problems applications and reference materials The course is very interesting and full of valuable information, but the evaluations were made to fail.

many subjects are not clear enough.it is better to put links and pictures than send us to look in lectures for a specific time frame.and still it was very interesting and motivating course.

I would not recommend it to anyone as it stands, regardless of the student's background, this course is just poor and lacking.The premise of this course is a promising one, the topic is still in its infancy and seems very interesting.

This course covers very interesting topics, but there are some serious shortcomings in the lectures.

But one can find this kind of information elsewhere, for example, at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zhk9xLjrmi4 and http://ocw.mit.edu/2-003SCF11 Very interesting course, both tests and assignments aredemanding but fair.Biggest problem of this course is that not all required topics are coveredenough in lectures.

The videos are very interesting and keep you hooked.

the material in this course are explained briefly ,there is no projects like the other courses or programming assignments to understand the concept ,it is just a theoretical course and poorly explained concepts Very interesting course.

rather than

Course could provide relevant background study references that are related to the questions asked rather than asking them to forage through the resources section and try to read everything.

I feel that the lecture material lacks proper explanation of the key concepts but the questions in quizzes are good although the lectures should have been more conceptual rather than theoretical The Course material and method of testing the understanding of the student needs to be improved.

The assignments were weakly correlated with the lectures, and no explanation was given for correct answers or for incorrect answers.I believe the authors would have benefited greatly from getting outside feedback from an advanced undergraduate or beginning graduate student, rather than each other.

As a result it provides a shallow introduction to many topics rather than deep coverage of any one topic.

3) Quizzes were sometimes based on intuition, or topics outside of the course, rather than topics learned from the lessons.On the other side, the TAs were highly involved in the course.

legged robots

This course deals with robotic mobility, in particular covering legged robots.

This is one of the very first courses in Robotics in which in legged robots are talked about.

The course served as a great introduction to legged robots and the templates that anchor them.

Not that this is bad - it is a nice introduction to a way to think about the problems involved in mobility (legged robots) - which is at least as important as tangling with the details ... of kinematics, dynamics, quaternions and PID controllers (for example).

I thought that Robotics: Aerial Robotics was a better blend of concepts and details - of course, it's not about legged robots, and I may just have a genetic disposition to drones.

so much

Thank you so much !

Slides would help so much and some important thins like GRC requires a supplementary material.

I honestly wasted so much time on the terrible grading system, it is unbelievable.
