A key component of the course is a robotics system design project in which students completely design a robotic system for a particular application and present it in class. Students are exposed to literature related to emerging technologies and internet resources relevant to robotics. Topics covered include transmission lines, electromagnetic field theory, waveguides, microwave network analysis and signal flow graphs, impedance matching and tuning, resonators, power dividers and directional couplers, and microwave filters. Problem-solving using the computer is stressed. The topic usually reflects new developments in the electrical and computer engineering field.
Offering is based on student and faculty interests.
