Overview

“Modern Robotics, Course 6: Capstone Project, Mobile Manipulation” is the culminating course in the Modern Robotics series, designed to integrate and apply robotics concepts learned throughout the program. This project-based course challenges learners to develop and implement advanced robotic solutions that combine manipulation and mobility. Participants will work on designing, programming, and controlling mobile manipulators—robots capable of both moving through environments and manipulating objects. The course covers critical areas such as integrated motion planning, perception, sensor fusion, and control strategies,...

Syllabus

  • Introduction to the Capstone Project, and Milestone 1
    • Odometry for wheeled mobile robots and its use in a kinematic simulator for the youBot omnidirectional mobile robot with four mecanum wheels.
  • Milestone 2: Reference Trajectory Generation
    • Generating a reference trajectory in SE(3) for the end-effector of a mobile manipulator to achieve a pick-and-place task.
  • Milestone 3: Feedforward Control
    • Feedforward control of the end-effector of a mobile manipulator to drive the end-effector along a reference trajectory.
  • Completing the Project and Your Submission
    • Feedforward-plus-feedback control of the end-effector of a mobile manipulator to stabilize a reference trajectory for the end-effector.
