The expected cost of this equipment for this unit is $300. Students will be informed at the start of the unit if loan equipment is available, or if they will be required to purchase it.

Content

In this unit, students will use industry standard approaches to developing robotics applications. These approaches allow the integration of hardware, software and different communications technologies as seamless applications to solve complex physical problems using robots. Students will learn how to develop publish/subscribe and service-based applications that allow multiple ground and/or airborne robotics systems to interact. Students will learn advanced robotics techniques, including control, navigation, vision, planning and simulation.

Hurdle requirement

To be eligible to obtain a pass in this unit, students must meet certain milestones as part of the portfolio.
