CS 199r: Robotic Systems Design

Building autonomous robotic systems requires understanding how to make robots that observe, reason, and act. The fundamentals behind each of these components requires an understanding of different engineering principles: how to fuse, multiple noisy sensor inputs; how to balance short-term versus long-term goals; how to control one's actions and reliably manipulate objects. In this class we will study these questions in the context of a semester-long project to develop autonomous robot soccer teams. Note: The class format will mix seminar and lab formats.


Open to all engineering students (computer science, electrical engineering and mechanical engineering) enrolled at Harvard or MIT.

Time: Fridays 1-4pm
First Class: January 30th, 2009
Where: Maxwell Dworkin 323
