Introduction to Robotics (laboratory)

Consultation hours

Refer to Robert Muszyński home page (In Polish, but... Consultation in Polish is... Konsulta... :) Monday in Polish is... Poniedzia... :) and so on)

Rules, materials, and grades

The laboratory part of the course consists of 5 meetings 3 hours each. The assignments must be worked out individually. It is not allowed to share solutions with colleagues, or submitting results which are not the author's own. It is allowed to use any published resources, as long as they are properly credited and referenced in the report.

The laboratory tasks base on the Matlab toolbox "Robotics Toolbox for Matlab" by Peter Corke. More details about it may be found in toolbox' webpage and in the course book P.I. Corke, “Robotics, Vision & Control”, Springer 2017, ISBN 978-3-319-54413-7 (Second Edition). The pdf version on this book can be downloaded via Library of Wrocław University of Science and Technology – please remember to choose the second edition from 2017 (direct link to book download page).

Some video materials by Peter Corke on robotics may be found on QUT Robot Academy webpage.

The final grade from each meeting depends on the result of the entrance test, the course of task implementation and the grade obtained from the report. To obtain a positive final grade from the laboratory, all component grades must be positive. The final grade is the average of the component grades.
