ROB 550: Robotics Systems Lab | Fall 2023

At the University of Michigan, graduate students in robotics all take ROB 550: Robotic Systems Laboratory.
For the Fall 2023 class, the final project asked students to create a robot capable of lifting and stacking small pallets. Students designed and built the lift mechanisms from scratch, with a wide variety of solutions being implemented.
This is a multidisciplinary laboratory course with exposures to sensing, reasoning, and acting for physically-embodied systems. Intro to kinematics, localization and mapping, planning, control, user interfaces. Design, build, integration, and test of mechanical, electrical, and software systems. Projects based on a series of robotic platforms: manipulators, mobile robots, aerial or underwater vehicles.
