Project & Laboratory Activities
The course material will be covered both in lecture and in lab, and will be
structured around the use of LEGO-based robot kits
and the associated MIT Handy microprocessor boards. The kits allow for
illustrating different robotics concepts, and experimenting with various sensors
and controllers.
Weekly required laboratory sessions will be held in OHE 240 throughout
the semester. Given the size of the course, there are two lab session times;
each student is required to choose one of those and attend it every week. The
lab sessions are scheduled for 2 hours and 40 minutes. If needed, additional
time in the lab can be arranged with the lab assistant and lab
manager.
The lab sessions will involve required structured exercises. The
students will be required to complete each exercise in lab, and demonstrate it
to the lab assistant and the rest of the class, when asked.
