1. Introductory Lecture About class Grading
Types of projects for this class
General Information

2. This material is easy and part of it you can read by yourself.
When you read it, please think how you can apply these ideas in practical robots.
Look also to internet to find who sells these and similar items that can be used in your robot

3. General Information Find my webpage Find class webpage
Read it regularly
There will be always new materials posted.
We will have additional meetings with me related to class material and projects
There is laboratory for this class, which is graded. Melih will talk about it.

4. Class Grading Class attendance (10%)
Homework 1 (10%) (can be part of final project)
Homework 2 (10%) (can be part of final project)
Total of unexpected quizzes (10%)
Formal Presentation of student’s work presented to the class (10%)
Lab attendance, work, and partial project reports returned to Melih (30%)
Final Project Report delivered to Perkowski (20%)

5. Levels of robot creation
Robot System Integration
Robot Application Programming
Robot Teaching
Robot Language
Robot System Architecture
MOTORS and ACTUATORS
Sensor and Vision
Internet
Mechanical Robot Design
A class as a whole covers all of the above
Your project(s) should cover few of these

6. Conclusion on projects
Mechanical design is an important component of this class
This class is not only programming, you have to pay more attention to mechanical and interfacing aspects of robot design.
Robot programming is different from standard programming, it is a real time application programming.

7. Hardware Projects for Fall 478 (some software needed to demonstrate the functionality
Design an arm for a large humanoid robot using aluminum bars and brackets, not 3D printed.
Arm 3D printed for a robot
Design a head of a large humanoid robot that will replace InMoov’s head. Not 3D printed. Concentrate on sensors and motion.
Design a leg for a large humanoid robot. Not for walking for all kinds of gymnastic exercises.

8. Software Projects (no new hardware design)
