Exciting Robotics Course, Back by Popular Demand this Fall 2025!
A hands-on robotics course on applied control techniques. The course will emphasize solving key areas of robot control for manipulators that can translate to the field of automation/robotic engineering. The course topics include:
- fundamentals of robotics,
- methods of robot control,
- feedback linearization,
- passivity-based control,
- Lyapunov design methods,
- robot dynamics
- and motion planning.
Robotics is fun, rewarding, and simply just way too cool to pass up!
Why interested students should take it?
- ENGR 870 will apply towards 3 units for the following programs.
- BS Upper-Division Elective for ME, EE, and CompE programs.
- MS EECS & ME Elective.
- Also, SF State Scholars in EE, CompE, and ME.
Obtain new engineering skills and practical concepts to compete in acquiring Bay Area employment (100+ robotic and automation companies). Robot hardware will be introduced for a hands-on experience to apply theory into practice.
Prerequisite: Graduate engineering student status. Undergraduate engineering students can enroll with having a grade B or better for the following course: ENGR 447. Undergrads would ask for instructor consent.
Lecture: Tuesdays and Thursdays, 11-12:15pm
