Mech 4503

This document provides an outline for an Introduction to Robotics engineering course offered at Carleton University during the Winter Term. The course covers topics over 13 weeks including the history of robotics, sensors and actuators, kinematics, dynamics, control systems, mobile robots, and industrial applications. Students will be evaluated based on projects or a midterm (30%) and a final exam (70%). The recommended textbook is Introduction to Robotics by Saeed B. Niku and other references are provided. Software such as Maple, MATLAB, and SIMULINK are strongly suggested.
