CSCI 545: Introduction to Robotics

robot-arms

In my second year at USC, I took the very challenging initiative of designing a new course from scratch, where students practice what we discuss in the lectures in a simulation environment and also with actual anthropomorphic robotic arms. We setup the lab assignments so that students have the opportunity to work in groups of four members max with a Kinova Gen2 Lightweight robotic arm.
