Description: This course consists of robotics team projects carried out in simulation and on physical robots, with project tracks such as F1TENTH autonomous driving and RoboCup 2D/3D soccer simulation. Students work in teams to implement and integrate algorithms for perception, localization, motion planning, and control into a complete robotic system that addresses a well-defined robotics challenge drawn from real-world or competition-inspired scenarios. Through hands-on laboratory work and iterative development, students gain strong technical competencies as well as strategic thinking and teamwork skills essential for complex robotics projects. Evaluation is based on demonstrating a fully working robotic system and on a written report and presentation describing the project design, implementation, and results. Prerequisites: Ability to program, CS 124 or CS 101; Data structures (CS 225) is recommended. Calculus 1 and Linear Algebra preferred.
