Summary
In this course, students will learn about walking, climbing, crawling bogies, swimming and flying locomotion subsystems of service robots. They will learn how to design and oversize the bogies for the required service scenario. They will also be acquainted with various ways of controlling the locomotive service robots subsystem.
