Software and hardware development process, modular program development, complex data structures, linkage with high level language, and in-circuit emulator operation. Introduction to development cycle with in-circuit emulator. Laboratory exercises in microcomputer development systems and applications. In-circuit emulator in software and hardware development process. Includes analysis and synthesis of the sensing, programming and actuating sub-systems within industrial and educational robots.
Laboratory exercises on robotic systems.
Emphasis on analysis and synthesis of the sensing, programming and actuating sub-systems within industrial and educational robots. Hands-on approach is used to analyze, design and document a realistic system. Actual use of project management, interviewing, forms analysis, structured methods, behavioral dynamics, walk-throughs, report writing, and presentations. Laboratory exercises on applied system development. Emphasis will be on systems development concepts, principles, and practices to a comprehensive systems development project.
