64-850-P Project Intelligent Robotics

Room: F-326 (PR2 lab)
Date: Thursday, 16:00 - 20:00
Organizer: Shang-Ching (Sam) Liu

This course is a single-semester project focused on the design and implementation of intelligent robotic systems. It replaces the previous two-part Master Project format.

Course Description

This project provides students with the opportunity to design, develop, and implement scenarios for complex robotic systems to accomplish human-defined tasks. Participants may work with a variety of robots and sensors, including UR5 and UR10e robot arms, a Kuka LWR, a PA10 arm, a PR2 robot, Shadow Robotics Dexterous Hands, multiple Turtlebot2 platforms, as well as a suite of cameras, tracking systems, laser scanners, and force/torque sensors.

All robotic platforms are controlled using the Robot Operating System (ROS), which allows for seamless integration of hardware components. The course emphasizes hands-on experience with ROS (primarily in C++ and Python), robotics platforms, simulation environments, and the TAMS lab infrastructure.

Through this project, students will engage in solving real-world robotics challenges such as navigation, self-localization, object detection, manipulation, and human-robot interaction. The course is conducted in English and held in person at the TAMS lab.

To successfully pass the course, students must:

Written Submissions

At the end of the project, the group must provide complete documentation of their work. This consists of two complementary parts:

  1. Source Code and Project Documentation

    All final source code and project structures developed during the project must be thoroughly documented. The aim is to allow someone with no prior affiliation to the project to reproduce and further develop the final demonstration.

    • A technical overview for each component (typically provided as a README.md), including clear setup and development instructions.
    • Documentation of known issues that may affect the demonstration.
    • Well-structured and commented source code, ensuring accessibility for future users.

  2. Scientific Project Report

    In addition to the technical documentation, the group must submit a scientific-style report in the format of an IEEE conference publication (6–10 pages). This report should abstract away from implementation details and instead focus on broader insights. Suggested sections include:

    • Overall scope and system architecture
    • Related work at both the system and component levels
    • Methods and alternative approaches considered during development
    • Limitations of the chosen approaches
    • Evaluation of results, including conclusive analysis if experiments were conducted
