Why specialize in Robotics?
- Unique combination of fundamental knowledge and cutting-edge technology
|
| | Useful background for Robotics research
- The field of Robotics is so broad, that students with many different backgrounds can contribute to the field.
- Assuming knowledge of the subject matter in the courses Robotic I and Robotics II, the subjects most useful in pursuing the goals of the CS Robotics Lab are (in no particular order): algorithms, scientific computing, software engineering, optimization and math programming, Bayesian filtering, multibody dynamics, machine learning, database systems, control theory, and signal processing.
