This is the capstone course of a three course engineering sequence designed to introduce students to the fundamentals of robotics engineering. Students apply these fundamentals, along with foundations of digital logic and circuit design acquired in the sequence, to interface various sensors and actuators with a simple microprocessor using experiments that demonstrate some basic applications of a simple robot. Finally, students apply the engineering design process to guide their design of a robot from a moderately complex state machine to a fully integrated robotic system capable of performing some practice military robotic applications.
