Cours

Topics in Autonomous Robotics

ENG-615

Students will be introduced to modern approaches in control and design of autonomous robots through lectures and exercises.

Legged robots

MICRO-507

The course presents the design, control, and applications of legged robots. It gives a review of different types of legged robots (including two-, four- and multi-legged robots), and analysis of different control methods for legged locomotion. It also trains students in making critical analysis of key articles in the field, and in designing their own models and locomotion controllers for legged

Computational motor control

CS-432

The course gives (1) a review of different types of numerical models of control of locomotion and movement in animals, (2) a presentation of different techniques for designing models, and (3) an analysis of the use and testing of those models in robotics and neuroprosthetics.
