Prerequisites:
Computer Science 60B; 120 or equivalent; consent of
instructor.
Description:
An introduction to the kinematics, dynamics and control
of robot manipulators, robotic vision, sensing and the
programming of robots. The course will cover forward,
inverse kinematics of serial chain manipulators. The
manipulator Jacobian, force relations, dynamics and
control-position and force control. Trajectory generation,
collision avoidance, automatic planning of fine and gross
motion strategies-robot programming languages. Proximity,
tactile and force sensing.

Course format:
Three hours of lecture and one hour of discussion per week.
Description:
Theoretical foundations and current controversies in
cognitive science will be discussed. Basic issues in
cognition--including perception, imagery, memory,
categorization, thinking, judgment, and development will be
considered from the perspectives of philosophy, psychology,
computer science, and physiology. Particular emphasis will
be placed on the nature, implications, and limitations of
the computational model of mind. Also listed as Cognitive
Science 100.
