Robotics is a rapidly growing field with increasing applications in domestic, service as well as industrial environment. This course provides an in-depth study on robotics at postgraduate level. The course covers the fundamental concepts and methods to analyse model, and control of robotic systems. The topics to cover include robot kinematics, inverse kinematics, dynamics, motion control and planning human-robot interactions robot sensors and vision, robot programming and applications. Students will be involved in robot programming projects to reinforce the basic principles introduced in lectures. The course will also expose students to the advanced applications and latest developments in service robots as well as industrial robots.

For a student to pass the course, at least 30% of the maximum mark for both coursework and examination should be obtained.
