Robot Mobility

2024/2025

Content, progress and pedagogy of the module

Objective:

Mobile robots use their motors and sensors to move around. This course focuses on theories and methods relating to modelling, simulating and controlling mobile robotic systems.

Learning objectives

Knowledge

  • Must have knowledge about mobile robot models, including holonomic and non-holonomic constraints
  • Must have knowledge of different categories of mobile robots, such as unmanned aerial vehicles, autonomous boats, omnidirectional vehicles, car-like robots, powered wheelchairs etc.
  • Must be able to understand principles of motion coordination between mobile robots
  • Must have knowledge of common guidance and control strategies for mobile robots

Skills

  • Must be able to build and simulate kinematic and dynamic models of mobile robots
  • Must be able to follow generated paths or trajectories towards a goal
  • Must be able to formulate multivariable control problems in the context of robot mobility

Competences

  • Must be able to model and simulate systems of mobile robots in an environment populated with obstacles
  • Must be able to design control systems for mobile robots
