AGSC 254 - Robotics and Drone Technologies Credits: 5 LEC hours per week: 2 LAB hours per week: 6 This course is an introduction to robotics and drone technologies in regards to precision agricultural applications. Autonomous and non-autonomous robots will be discussed. The laws of physics will be applied to the use of drones and how those laws affect the flying and/or driving of these apparatus. Wheeled and flying drones will be assembled, programmed and operated. Drones will also be programmed to perform duties using inputs and outputs from a multitude of different types of sensors. Prerequisite(s): Grade of C or higher in CS 121 or instructor permission. Course Outcomes:
- Program and operate robotic hardware and software for use in agriculture operations.
- Assemble robotic hardware to a useful and functional state.
- Analyze programming used in robotics.
- Discuss methodologies and purposes for autonomous systems in agriculture.
- Practice programming and piloting aerial drones.
- Analyze and interpret data from drone sensors.
Course Topics:
- Autonomous and non-autonomous robots
- Laws of physics which affect the flying and driving of drones
- Programming controllers
- Installation of sensors to input data into programming
- Disassembly of drones and deprogramming controllers
Course Attribute(s): None
