Search, Navigate, and Actuate lab course

The 2005 lab course has a new homepage.
The lab course of the first year AI Search, Navigate, and Actuate lab course consists of controlling a robotic arm whose job it is to move chess pieces. Goals of the lab course are to become acquainted with working in real world situations and to learn to apply several robotics techniques. The lab course is split in three parts: first you should solve a chess endgame "king and queen vs. king", next you should plan a path for the gripper of the arm and after that calculate the corresponding poses of the arm joints.

We will be using a UMI RTX robotic arm manufactured by Universal Machine Intelligence. Its serial number is 173.
