Applied Robotics
Build intelligent machines using sensors, actuators, control systems, ROS, and vision - from prototype to deployment.
From Parts to Autonomous Systems
The Applied Robotics program takes you from fundamentals to real robot behavior: sensing, perception, control, and autonomy.
You'll build with hardware + simulation workflows to create robotics pipelines that survive real-world noise and edge cases.
Program Outcomes:
- ->Integrate sensors (IMU/camera) and actuators with stable control loops
- ->Build ROS-based architecture and debugging workflow
- ->Implement vision pipelines for detection and tracking
- ->Tune navigation behaviors with obstacle avoidance
- ->Ship a capstone robot demo with a complete autonomy stack
