Robotics Technician Certificate Program: Module 14 - Autonomous Robots

This module will introduce basic concepts and techniques used within the field of mobile autonomous robots. It covers the principles of robot motion, forward and inverse kinematics of wheeled platforms, and provides a general overview of mobile robot control architectures, with an emphasis on the use of wheeled mobile robots and manipulators in industry and society. Areas including perception, error propagation, localization and path planning are presented. This module also provides a concise study of modeling, control, and navigation methods for wheeled non-holonomic and omnidirectional mobile robots and manipulators. The module begins with a study of mobile robot drivers and corresponding kinematic and dynamic models, and discusses the sensors used in mobile robotics. It then examines a variety of model-based, model-free, and vision-based controllers, with a comparison of stabilization and tracking performance. In addition, the problems of path, motion, and task planning, along with localization and mapping topics are covered.
