Carleton University School of Computer Science COMP 1807 Introduction to Robotics 2013 Winter Preliminary course outline subject to change; last updated on Fri Nov 23 16:16:56 EST 2012
T.A. assignments are not available at this time Course DescriptionThis course has been designed to provide you with an introduction to robotics so that you will understand some of the issues involved with building and programming mobile robots. It will give you hands-on experience in working with real hardware that do not always perform as you would expect. The focus is on programming the robots to make use of a variety of sensors and controlling motors. Topics Covered
COMP1405 is required to take this course. You must be a quick programmer as the labs are time constrained. This course has limited enrollment and is primarily reserved for those in the robotics stream. Course ObjectivesThe objective of this course is to introduce students to the area of robotics. Specifically, we are interested in understanding the basics of getting robots to sense, think and react. You should come out of this course with a basic knowledge of how robot motors and sensors are controlled in order to exhibit some basic behaviors. Textbook (s)There is no textbook for this course. The course is lab-based. All notes are online and available to the students registered in the course. Laboratory SoftwareThe labs require you to pre-purchase a robotics kit (available from the Science Stores here on campus). All necessary software is freely available on-line. EvaluationStudents will be evaluated in this course according to the following measures. Attendance
You MUST attend all classes, since each lab assignment must be completed in the classroom before you leave. Collaboration PolicyCollaborating on assignments is strictly disallowed. You must complete the work by yourself. If you need help, please see a TA or your instructor. Posting assignment solutions on discussion boards before the due date and time is also prohibited. Undergraduate Academic AdvisorThe Undergraduate Advisor for the School of Computer Science is available in Room 5302C HP, by telephone at 520-2600, ext. 4364 or by email at undergraduate_advisor@scs.carleton.ca. The undergraduate advisor can assist with information about prerequisites and preclusions, course substitutions/equivalencies, understanding your academic audit and the remaining requirements for graduation. The undergraduate advisor will also refer students to appropriate resources such as the Science Student Success Centre, Learning Support Services and the Writing Tutorial Services. University PoliciesStudent Academic Integrity Policy Click here for the printable version of the COMP 1807 course outline
Every student should be familiar with the Carleton University student academic integrity policy. A student found in violation of academic integrity standards may be awarded penalties which range from a reprimand to receiving a grade of F in the course or even being expelled from the program or University. Some examples of offences are: plagiarism and unauthorized co-operation or collaboration. Information on this policy may be found in the Undergraduate Calendar. PlagiarismAs defined by Senate, "plagiarism is presenting, whether intentional or not, the ideas, expression of ideas or work of others as one's own". Such reported offences will be reviewed by the office of the Dean of Science. Unauthorized Co-operation or CollaborationSenate policy states that "to ensure fairness and equity in assessment of term work, students shall not co-operate or collaborate in the completion of an academic assignment, in whole or in part, when the instructor has indicated that the assignment is to be completed on an individual basis". Please refer to the course outline statement or the instructor concerning this issue. Academic Accommodations for Students with DisabilitiesThe Paul Menton Centre for Students with Disabilities (PMC) provides services to students with Learning Disabilities (LD), psychiatric/mental health disabilities, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), chronic medical conditions, and impairments in mobility, hearing, and vision. If you have a disability requiring academic accommodations in this course, please contact PMC at 613-520-6608 or pmc@carleton.ca for a formal evaluation. If you are already registered with the PMC, contact your PMC coordinator to send me your Letter of Accommodation at the beginning of the term, and no later than two weeks before the first in-class scheduled test or exam requiring accommodation (if applicable). After requesting accommodation from PMC, meet with me to ensure accommodation arrangements are made. Please consult the PMC website for the deadline to request accommodations for the formally-scheduled exam (if applicable) at http://www2.carleton.ca/pmc/new-and-current-students/dates-and-deadlines/ Religious ObligationWrite to me with any requests for academic accommodation during the first two weeks of class, or as soon as possible after the need for accommodation is known to exist. For more details visit the Equity Services website: http://www2.carleton.ca/equity/ Pregnancy ObligationWrite to me with any requests for academic accommodation during the first two weeks of class, or as soon as possible after the need for accommodation is known to exist.
