CS 689 - Planning Motions of Robots and Molecules

Credits: 3 (NR)
Covers topics from artificial intelligence, algorithms and databases. Presents algorithms that model and simulate physical and biological systems and focuses on motion-planning algorithms for robotic systems in the presence of obstacles. Simple deterministic and sampling-based approaches to motion planning will be covered, as well as advanced planning methods including planning with kinematics and dynamic constraints. Selected topics include sensor-based motion planning, manipulation planning, assembly planning, planning under uncertainty and robotics-inspired methods to compute functionally-relevant motions of molecular chains.

Prerequisite(s): CS 583. Prerequisite enforced by registration system.

Hours of Lecture or Seminar per week: 3
