Welcome to CS223A

Hello human, teach me how to dive, cs223a / me320 : introduction to robotics - winter 2024.

This course provides an introduction to physics-based design, modeling, and control of robotic systems, in particular of robotic arms. You will learn basic methodologies and tools, and build a solid foundation that will enable you to move forward in both robotic research (CS327A, CS326) and applications (CS225A). Concepts that will be covered in the course are Spatial Transformations; Forward and Inverse Kinematics of Robots; Jacobians; Robot Dynamics, Joint, Cartesian, Operational Space and Force Control as well as Vision-based Control.

Expected Learning Outcomes

After taking the class, students will be able to

  • Design a robot with an optimal workspace
  • Model a robot to sufficient precision
  • Implement and tune a robot motion controller that exposes desired behaviour
  • Implement and tune a compliant robot motion/force controller that exposes desired behaviour
  • Implement and tune a vision-based robot motion controller that is robust to noise
  • Assess limitations of traditional, model-based approaches, visualise these failure cases, and propose an approach on how they can be addressed (as assessed by bonus exercises in homework assignments)

All learning outcomes are assessed by homework assignments, midterm and final exam.

All course materials will be shared through the Canvas website, including important class announcements from the Teaching Staff. All assignments should be submitted via Gradescope.

If you have a question, to get a response from the teaching staff quickly we strongly encourage you to post it to the Ed Discussion forum here . This is a great place to ask questions of the staff, as well as share information among your peers. For private matters, please make a private note visible only to the course instructors. For longer discussions with CA's, we strongly encourage you to come to office hours.

Assignments

There will be 8 homework problem sets that are pen-and-paper exercises. Their purpose is to practice the concepts covered in class by applying them to different robotics-related example problems. All assignments will be released on Friday at 5:00 PM and due on the following Friday at 5:00 PM. You should submit directly to Gradescope .

Collaboration Policy

Although group discussion and work is encouraged, each student should submit their own assignment and perform any necessary calculations on their own.

There will be a midterm and a final for this course. It will include similar problems to those you have encountered in the homework, and will additionally include problems and questions covering the content from the lectures. TA review sessions (schedule TBD) will help you to prepare for the exam.

Late Policy

Each student will have a total of three free late days to use for homeworks for the whole quarter. You may use up these late days for any assignment as you see fit. You can use partial late days (i.e. if you submit your first assignment 5 hours late, you will have 72-5 = 67 total late hours remaining), Once these late days are exhausted, any assignments turned in late will be penalized 20% per late day. However, no assignment will be accepted more than three days after its due date . If you need additional assignment extensions beyond the free late days given for whatever reason, contact the CAs directly and we will work something out with you.

Regrades will also be handled through Gradescope. We will begin to accept regrades for an assignment the day after grades are released for a window of three days. We will not accept regrades for an assignment outside of that window. Regrades are intended to remedy grading errors, so regrade requests must discuss why you believe your answer is correct in light of the deduction you received. We do not accept regrade requests of the form "I deserve more points for this" or "that deduction is too harsh."

The Course Reader is available at the bookstore.

Supplementary Material (Optional)

  • Textbook: Robotics - Modelling, Planning and Control by Siciliano, B., Sciavicco, L., Villani, L., Oriolo, G. Available on Springer within Stanford network.
  • Essence of Linear Algebra by 3blue1brown
  • Python tutorial

Students with Documented Disabilities

Students who may need an academic accommodation based on the impact of a disability must initiate the request with the Office of Accessible Education (OAE). Professional staff will evaluate the request with required documentation, recommend reasonable accommodations, and prepare an Accommodation Letter for faculty dated in the current quarter in which the request is made. Students should contact the OAE as soon as possible since timely notice is needed to coordinate accommodations. The OAE is located at 563 Salvatierra Walk (phone: 723-1066, URL: http://studentaffairs.stanford.edu/oae ). Please send your OAE letter directly to Wesley at [email protected].

SCPD Accommodations

SCPD students who cannot physically attend lecture can still participate and ask questions through the Canvas Course Videos tab. This tab will show a 40-second delayed livestream of the lecture, and the associated text chat will be Tueitored by a TA. The Course Videos tab also contains recordings of past lectures and out-of-class review sessions.

One of the office hours sessions will be designated as SCPD priority office hours and be made available remotely through Zoom. The TA administering these office hours will be available through the Zoom video conference platform for live discussion of course material and homework. SCPD students will receive priority during this time, but non-SCPD students are also welcome to attend.

For Exams, if you are local to the area you are welcome to come to campus to take your midterms and finals in person. If you are not, you will need to desginate an Exam Monitorby the second week of class so you can take your exam remotely. Please visit this SCPD page for more information.

The Stanford University Fundamental Standard is a part of this course

It is Stanford’s statement on student behavioral expectations articulated by Stanford’s first President David Starr Jordan in 1896. It is agreed to by every student who enrolls at Stanford. The Fundamental Standard states: Students at Stanford are expected to show both within and without the university such respect for order, morality, personal honor and the rights of others as is demanded of good citizens. Failure to do this will be sufficient cause for removal from the university.

Robotics Books in PDF

Robots have long ceased to be a subject of science fiction to become an increasingly palpable reality. We present to you our collection of robotics books in PDF format , with which you can delve into this incredible subject that will not disappoint you.

There are many job opportunities in robotics . There is a great demand for professionals in this area and, in reality, the supply is still scarce. We encourage you to study robotics and accompany you in that goal. By reading these robotics books in PDF format that we have selected for you, you will be able to acquire basic notions and fundamental principles.

It is a branch of science, present in many disciplines (especially in engineering ) that is responsible for designing, manufacturing and operating robots. These were created with the purpose of being able to imitate the behavior of humans and animals and thus replace them in various tasks and areas of industry, economy, as well as in the domestic.

The most deeply rooted reference in the collective imagination is that of the humanoid robot, the one that looks very much like us and that with the passage of time will replace us in countless tasks. But the truth is that there are many types and their classification is quite broad, as is the field of study of robotics.

Humanoid robots are those that are designed with the purpose of imitating us faithfully. Their creators seek hyperrealism with their creation and we already have some extraordinary references as is the case of the female robot Sophia, which was introduced to the world in 2015 and surprised us with its extremely realistic appearance, its ability to learn and establish conversations.

Other types of robots to highlight are: domestic robots, space robots, exoskeletons, bionic prostheses, industrial robots, among others.

Check out our selection of more than 15 robotics books in PDF format and start getting into this fascinating field of study. You can download them to your mobile devices for free.
