ECE 6350: Robotics Spring 2007
The objective of this course is to introduce you to fundamentals of robotic systems. Major topics include rigid body motion, forward and inverse kinematics, robot dynamics and control, motion planning, multi-robot coordination, and unmanned air vehicles (UAVs).
ECE 6320: Linear Multi-variable Control Fall 2007, Fall 2006, Fall 2005
The objective of this course is to introduce you to fundamental linear system analysis and design techniques. This course will prepare you with basic techniques and understanding necessary to approach emerging literature and applications in linear systems. The course also serves as a basis for future courses in nonlinear and adaptive control, robust and optimal control, and distributed control systems. In addition, the materials covered in this course are applicable to the areas of signal processing, image processing, circuit theory, and detection and estimation theory.
ECE 5340: Mobile Robots Fall 2007, Fall 2006 Final Projects
The objective of this course is to introduce you to fundamental knowledge and techniques in the field of mobile robots. Major topics include locomotion and kinematics, PID control, perception, localization, motion planning, navigation, robotic vision, unmanned air vehicles (UAVs), behavior-based robotics, swarm engineering, and multi-robot coordination.
ECE 7330: Nonlinear and Adaptive Control Spring 2006
The objective of this course is to introduce you to methods
of nonlinear and adaptive control system design and analysis. Major topics
includes Lyapunov stability, input-output stability, passivity, feedback
control, feedback linearization, sliding mode control, backstepping, linear
parameter estimation methods, and direct and indirect adaptive control
techniques.
