Lab in robotics and systems control

Also listed as: מעבדה ברובוטיקה ובקרה של מערכות

Kinematics and control implemented on a real arm, with the sensors, calibration and failure modes that simulation hides. ROS experience out of this lab is directly hireable.

Opens up

  • Graduate robotics and autonomy research

What it covers

What you build

  • Forward and inverse kinematics on physical hardware
  • Trajectory generation and execution
  • Joint-space and task-space control, PID and computed torque
  • Sensor integration: encoders, vision, perception in the loop
  • Calibration and the errors it does not remove
  • Embedded control implementation
  • A capstone task: pick-and-place, line following or manipulation

Results worth carrying out

  • Computed-torque control

    τ=M(q)(q¨d+Kve˙+Kpe)+C(q,q˙)q˙+g(q)\tau = M(q)\left(\ddot{q}_d + K_v\dot{e} + K_p e\right) + C(q,\dot{q})\dot{q} + g(q)
  • Task-space velocity

    v=J(q)q˙v = J(q)\,\dot{q}

Figures worth knowing

  • Denavit–Hartenberg frame diagrams
  • Workspace plots
  • Trajectory and tracking-error plots

We also write the summaries.

This map tells you what a course contains. The summaries, the tutoring and the people who already took it are the part you get by joining.

The topic outlines are not official syllabi. The university publishes a catalogue blurb per course, not lecture-by-lecture material, so each outline describes what a course of that name, at those hours, with those prerequisites teaches at engineering schools generally, cross-checked against the standard textbook for the subject. Treat it as an informed map, not as a transcript of the lectures.
