Goal(s)

This course introduces various motion planning and control methods for robotic systems (robot arms, terrestrial, aerial, and aquatic drones). It starts with presenting the kinematics and dynamics of various robotic systems. Model inversion through differential flatness will be further used for reference trajectory generation.

A large part of the course will delve into various control methods ranging from classical ones like PID with anti-windup, Computed Torque Control (CTC), Feedback linearization (FL) to more advanced ones like Model Predictive Control (MPC). Some insights on estimation procedures will also be given.

The tools provided all along this course will help describe and solve various problems involving path/trajectory generation, robotic system stabilization and path/trajectory tracking. Laboratory work and an introduction to ROS (Robotic Operating System) will complete this course.
