Reviews

You must provide brief reviews of a papers in robotics. The instructions are provided here.

Reviews by students so far can be found here.

Project

The goal of the project work you will undertake in this class is to simulate a robot completing a motion control task. You are free to choose the robot task you wish to demonstrate, as long as it does not amount to re-running existing code. Your project work must aim to do something new, relative to what's been tried in robotics.

Project groups are allowed.

Due Dates:

WhatWhenDescription
Abstract (pdf, Canvas)A paragraph (~200 words) on what robot motion you will simulate, what simulation environment you will use and why, and why this robot motion simulation is new.
Mid-term paper (pdf, Canvas)A draft paper that describes the motion you simulate, why it is challenging, what methods you will use, and the new component in your simulation.
Final Project Paper (pdf, Canvas)Describe the simulation you obtained, and discuss limitations (cases where it will fail, computational considerations, etc) and possible extensions.
Project Presentation (presentation, class)Show-off your simulation to the class, preferably live!
