24-676 Grammar-based Generative Design for Implementation

12 units, Carnegie Mellon University

This course will explore design and control of biologically inspired robots. Locomotion principles of many agile animals such as lizards, snakes, insects, fishes, and birds will be studied with corresponding bio-inspired robotic platforms. Required bio-inspired robotic mechanisms, materials, actuators, sensors, and power sources to enable similar locomotion principles will be taught. Besides the basic background knowledge, it will include the current trends in literature, detailed case studies and discussions, and guest lecturer talks. Course projects will involve theoretical and hands-on topics on design, manufacturing and control of bio-inspired robots. 4 hrs.lec
