Robots are gradually entering into our daily life. Days are not far when they will be part of our family. A robot is an integration of mechanical, electrical and software components that can be reprogrammed to perform a variety of tasks both with and without human intervention. Robotics is the study of robot’s design, programming and control. Essentially a robot contains manipulators, sensors, control systems, power supplies and software all working together to perform a task. Manipulator provides movement. A robot needs to be able to move around its environment. Whether by joint movement, or rolling on wheels, or walking on legs or propelling by thrusters a robot needs to be able to move. Sensing is required to sense its surroundings and find its own location. Control system provides intelligence. Artificial Intelligence can be provided through object recognition, path planning, interacting robot through NLP, navigating the robot and giving emotion to robot. This course will cater the needs of students who are interested in studying the complete kinematics, dynamics, control and implementing AI to the robots and then will like to make one. With this foundation course students will be ready to study advance robotics courses and AI controlled robots.

Intended audience: Mechanical/Electrical/Electronics/Computer Science under graduate and post graduate students
