Syllabus

1. Project Work (1.1 Problem-Based robotic programming, Mobile robot navigation, Path finding, Obstacle avoidance.)

2. Laboratory Sessions (2.1 Mobile robot navigation, Sensing and actuation based on the environment, Multi DOF motion programming and movement.)

3. Meetings with Staff (3.1 The assessments are based on staged reports and meetings with academic staff and laboratory assistants.)

4. Algorithm Design (4.1 Path finding, Obstacle avoidance.)

5. Report Submissions (5.1 The assessments are based staged reports and meetings with academic staff and laboratory assistants. Final assessment involves the submission of a project technical report.)

6. Project Demonstrations (6.1 Sensing and actuation based on the environment, Multi DOF motion programming and movement, Final assessment involves the submission of a project technical report and practical demonstrations)

Learning outcomes

By the end of the course, students should be able to do the following:

• implement fundamental C language syntax and utilize the Arduino IDE to program an Arduino UNO development board for robotics applications
• explain the working principle of an H-bridge and implement H-bridge DC motor control for robot locomotion
• design a robot control system using LDRs and voltage dividers to enable light-following behaviour
• implement obstacle avoidance features in a robot by using ultrasonic sensors and servo motors
• describe the basic working principle of the IIC bus and integrate IIC sensors for robot control, while documenting the project through technical reports
