Modern Robotics, Course 6

Modern Robotics: Mechanics, Planning, and Control,

The capstone project of the Modern Robotics specialization is on mobile manipulation: simultaneously controlling the motion of a wheeled mobile base and its robot arm to achieve a manipulation task. This project integrates several topics from the specialization, including trajectory planning, odometry for mobile robots, and feedback control. Beginning from the Modern Robotics software library provided to you (written in Python, Mathematica, and MATLAB), and software you have written for previous courses, you will develop software to plan and control the motion of a mobile manipulator to perform a pick and place task. You will test your software on the KUKA youBot, a mobile manipulator consisting of an omnidirectional mecanum-wheel mobile base, a 5-joint robot arm, and a gripper. The state-of-the-art, cross-platform V-REP robot simulator will be used to simulate the task.

What people are saying

practically employ these theories

Although if an alternative project or a separate course could be provided to practically employ these theories by making a robot then that will be even better.

it was fascinating implementing

It was fascinating implementing what I learnt in the previous five courses into a real-life scenario.

limit tester was also

The extra part of making a joint limit tester was also fun.

real problems which arise

This capstone is adequately challenging, realistic and exposes the students to the real problems which arise when one tries to program a robot.

capstone project taught

Capstone Project taught me the most.

applies both chain

Uses a mobile manipulator robot which is great because it applies both chain and wheeled robotics.

some programming experience

I recommend you have some programming experience for the capstone but if you completed the previous courses this one should be fine.

used almost all

I used almost all the knowledge that I gained through previous 5 courses.

excellent lecture

Excellent lecture to study mobile manipulator including great example.

arise when

debugging process

Learned a lot through the debugging process.
