Robotics Engineering CPU
Introduction
In the Robotics Engineering CPU, students
will gain an understanding of both robotics and engineering/design
principles. This is accomplished somewhat through the reading
materials provided in the course, but is mainly achieved through
direct, hands-on activities. Students will construct and program a
predetermined robot manipulator, then create one of their own. In
this process, students will work through the design process; build
the manipulator; program the robot; then test, revise, and update
the robot for a final trial run. Understanding these processes is
important in any sort of design work, but is especially useful in
preparing for contests in which robotic design and implementation
are judged.
