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.
