CSC- 2700 Introduction to Robotics

Course Objective

The objective of this course is to introduce basic concepts in robotics, focusing on mobile robots and the latest research applications. This course will have a strong lab component; students will work individually to build simple robots and work in small groups to build more complex robots, culminating in an end-of-semester robot contest.
