3 Am I a robot? (Yes/No) A B D C E F

4 Application domains of Robotics More than you can imagine! extreme environments space underwater medical robotics assistive rehabilitative surgical mine exploration de-mining civil and naval construction automatic refueling museum guide fire fighting home cleaning agriculture lawn mowing emergency rescue food industry entertainment inspection and surveillance humanoids Robots are exciting for what they do but, more than that, for how they work!

5 Robotics in Industry Robota (= servitude in slavic language) are artificial human-like creatures built for being inexpensive workers in the theater play Rossum s Universal Robots (R.U.R.) written by Karel Capek in 1920 Computer NumericallyControlled Machines (CNC) 1950 Mechanical Telemanipulators 1970 flexibility of use accuracy of positioning adaptability to changing conditions repeatability of operations

6 Estimated worldwide operational stock of industrial robots

7 Estimated annual shipment of industrial robots

8 Industrial Applications manipulation (pick-and-place) assembly spray painting and coating arc welding spot welding with pneumatic or servo-controlled gun laser cutting and welding gluing and sealing mechanical finishing operations (e.g., grinding)

28 Systems for the visually-impaired Goal: Determine user s location Identify surroundings (parks, bench, trees, etc.) Represent objects with unique sounds Audio waypoints (e.g. metasounds) to destination path 3D (top)... N-views Structure-from-Motion MAP localization (RANSAC/LM) Georgia Institute of Technology

29 Key Problems in Robotics a) Who am I? b) Where am I? c) Where should I go? d) How do I get there? a) Requires study of : - robotic structures; - robotic sensors; - robotic actuators b) kinematics and localization c) task planning/control d) motion planning / motion control How am I supposed to get there How do I actually get there

30 Intelligent...action...perception Components of a robotic system: Mechanical system: Locomotion apparatus (wheels, tracks, legs,...) Manipulation apparatus (mechanical arm, end-effector, artificial hand). Actuation system: Provides the capability to exert an action (locomotion or manipulation). Sensory system: Proprioceptive sensors = acquire data on the status of the robot. (e.g., position, joint angles, etc.) Exteroceptive sensors = acquire data on the external status of environment. Control system: It commands the execution of the action with respect to the goals.

31 ...and applied to our scenario!

32 So...what is a Robot? A = yes D = no B = no C = no E = yes F = no

33 Course Content - Robot Modeling - Robot Control Intro to Robot Systems Robot Kinematics Inverse Kinematics Robot Jacobians Linear Control of Manipulators 1st Homework Assignment - Robot Sensing - Motion Panning Sensors for Robotics Mobile Robots Robot Motion Planning Trajectory Generation and Tracking 1st Project 2nd Homework Assignment Probabilistic Approaches to Robot Localization Kalman Filter (KF) and Extended-KF - Robot Localization Robot Localization and Mapping - Advanced apps. Computer Vision in Robotics Adaptation and Learning 3rd Homework Assignment Final Project (please note that these course topics are preliminary and might undergo slight changes)

34 Course Prerequisites, Goals and Outcomes Prerequisites include CSE 2320 and CSE MATLAB programming experience is strongly recommended. C/C++ programming experience can be beneficial for the final project. Feel free to contact the advisor in case you have specific questions. CSE 4360/5364 is designed to: Introduce the student to fundamentals of robotics, robot control, and sensing. Explore the mathematical/algebraic foundations of robot kinematics, control and localization. Explore and familiarize with robot planning and navigation techniques. Upon successful completion of the course, each student will be able to: Recognize the features and peculiarities of different robotic devices. Understand rigid body kinematics and relationships between 3-D refer. frames. Describe direct and inverse kinematics. Compare the characteristics of different sensing devices (encoders, pinhole and stereo cameras, etc.). Understand and implement motion planning algorithms. Understand and discuss different algorithms for robot localization and mapping.

35 Course Text There is no required textbook for this course. However, selected parts of other textbooks (see list below) will be used as part of the course readings. Copies of these material will be put on reserve in the Science and Engineering Library. -- B. Siciliano, L. Sciavicco, L. Villani, G. Oriolo "Robotics: Modelling, Planning and Control", 3rd Edition, Springer,09 -- John J. Craig "Introduction to Robotics: Mechanics and Control", Addison Wesley, Jean-Claude Latombe "Robot Motion Planning", Kluwer Academic Publishers -- R.

36 Homework Assignments Students will be graded based on three homework assignments and two course projects. Homework Assignments: theoretical questions, programming assignments (in MATLAB), etc. related to the topics of the course. Dates will be announced in class. Tentatively, course grades will be based on the following: Assignments % of final grade Homeworks (total) 40 % 1st Course Project 20 % nd 2 Course Project 40 % Percent Grade 90 %-100 % 80 %-89.9 % 70 %-79.9 % 60 %-69.9 % <60 % Letter A B C D F Note 1: For students enrolled in CSE 5364 the homeworks will contain additional problems (not required for CSE 4360). Note 2: All work turned in for grading must be the student's own work. (see also the course's webpage) Note 3: MATLAB (with some toolboxes) is available also in NH 231

37 Course Projects 1st Course project : designing and implementing a particular algorithm related to topics studied in the course (assigned by the instructor). Final project : Designing and implementing a final project related to course topics and chosen by the student or proposed by the instructor. Abstract submission is mandatory before the deadline (to be announced in class). The course project can be done either individually or in a team (~max 2 students). RTL will be made available. Students will report their findings in a research report, and will present in-class their design and demo (dates will be announced)
