• This material is easy and part of it you can
read by yourself.
• When you read it, please think how you can
apply these ideas in practical robots.
• Look also to internet to find who sells these
and similar items that can be used in your
robot

Conclusion on projects
• Mechanical design is an important component
of this class
• This class is not only programming, you have to
pay more attention to mechanical and
interfacing aspects of robot design.
• Robot programming is different from standard
programming, it is a real time application
programming.
Class information
1. Get key for the lab from departmental
secretary
2. Find or create a project group. Talk to other
members, give me information on Thursday.
3. Find page Perkowski Page on Google
4. Find class 479 below the Embedded Robotics
478 class.
5. User id = logic, password = synthesis.
