Robotics

Title:	Simulation of 6-DOF Robot Manipulator
Description:	The goal of this project is to develop a simulator for a 6-DOF robot manipulator, using the ode (open dynamics engine) library for simulating the rigid body dynamics. The project involves three different phases: Building the physical model of the manipulator Implementing the forward and inverse kinematic routines Implementing the trajectory planning routines Implementing the control modules Implementing an interface to control the robot movements This project allows to put into practice what has been explained during the first part of the course of Robotics. The project can be turned into a thesis, by using the simulated manipulator to perform some learning experiments.

Title:	Robot games
Description:	The goal of this activity is to develop an interactive game with robots using commercial devices such as the WII Mote (see the Robogames page) Projects are available in different areas: Design and implementation of the game on one of the available robots and extension of the robot functionalities Design and implementation of the game and a new suitable robot Evaluation of the game with users (in collaboration with Franca Garzotto) These projects allow to experiment with real mobile robots and real interaction devices. Parts of these projects can be considered as course projects. These projects can also be extended to cover course projects.
