ECGR 4161: Introduction to Robotics

ECGR 4161: Introduction to Robotics (Summer 2012, UNC Charlotte). Instructor: Professor James Conrad. A survey examination of robotics, especially of autonomous devices and vehicles. The goal of this course is to introduce the field of robotics to students who have a good foundation of engineering and a beginner or higher level in computer engineering. Students will further investigate algorithmic control of hardware. Students will also examine a few sensors and actuators that are used in robotics and learn how to integrate them into a robotic system.
