CSE 475 — INTRODUCTION TO ROBOTICS (FORMERLY CSC 475) (CUR-066)

CSE 475 — INTRODUCTION TO ROBOTICS (FORMERLY CSC 475) is a DePaul University catalog course in Jarvis College of Computing and Digital Media. An introduction to the field of Robotics. Topics include history of robotics, kinematics, control theory, and sensor theory. A large portion of class time will be lab based, building and programming robots using the Lego Mindstorms NXT Robotics Kit. The programming will be using a C derivative and knowledge of C and general systems concepts is required. CSC 403 and CSC 421 are prerequisites for this class.
