ROBAI 340 - Industrial nternet of Things: Advanced Sensors and Actuators



5.0 Credits
Robotics sensing systems give robots the ability to see, touch, hear, and move and use algorithms to provide feedback to the robots and control their behavior. This course gives an overview of the current technologies and trends in robotics sensing systems, as well as the integration of actuators to control robotic behaviors and enhance system performance. Students learn to analyze the sensing requirements of various robotics applications and design basic sensing systems based on these specifications. Completion of ETEC 245 with a 2.0 or greater.
Prerequisite Admittance to the Robotics and Artificial Intelligence Program is required to take this course.
Course-level Learning Objectives (CLOs)
Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:

  1. Interpret and analyze the trends in robotics sensors, actuators, and controls.
  2. Define the sensing requirements of proposed robotics applications and develop sensing systems specifications.
  3. Compare sensing systems specifications with available technologies, discuss limitations, and trade-offs, and develop design recommendations.
  4. Design, develop, and test control systems for robotics applications based on an integrated robotics sensing system.
