Pre-requisite Courses and Assumed Knowledge and Capabilities
Programming in either C,C++, Java or Python.
Mathematical knowledge to analyse robot behaviour.
Analytical knowledge of simple control systems.
Course Description
The goal of this course is to become adept at the construction of robot control software systems. In this course you will classify robot system architectures, analyse application situations and construct new systems.
Please note that if you take this course for a bachelor honours program, your overall mark in this course will be one of the course marks that will be used to calculate the weighted average mark (WAM) that will determine your award level. (This applies to students who commence enrolment in a bachelor honours program from 1 January 2016 onwards. See the WAM information web page for more information (www1.rmit.edu.au/browse;ID=eyj5c0mo77631).
