Foundations of Robotics

CS 4750, CS 5750, ECE 4770 Fall 2017

Foundations of Robotics is a challenging introduction to basic computational concepts used broadly in robotics. Topics include simulation, kinematics, control, optimization, and probabilistic inference. The mathematical basis of each area is emphasized, and concepts are motivated using common robotics applications and programming exercises.
