COMP3631: Intelligent Systems and Robotics (On Campus)

2021-Today University of Leeds

I teach a 20-credit module to third year Computing and Mechatronics undergrads during the second semester. The module is comprised of two components; Computer Vision and Robotics. I teach the robotics component and how to program a robot using the Robot Operating System (ROS). Some of the topics we cover in the module are:

  1. The Robot Operating System (ROS)
  2. Motion Planning
  3. Motion Control
  4. Configuration Spaces
  5. Robotic Arm Planning
  6. Locomotion
  7. Kinematics
  8. Spatial Transformations
  9. Localisation and Mapping

The module is taught to 180 students, a limit enforced due to number of physical robots required. Students program robots in simulation and deploy the code onto a real robot.
