This practical course provides a comprehensive exploration of robot control and teleoperation, emphasizing three key components: Robot arm, Haptic device, and Drone. Students will acquire both theoretical knowledge and hands-on skills in the domain of teleoperated robotics.

Robot Control and Telerobotic

• Introduction to the principles of robotics and the control of robotic systems

• Design a teleoperation system for remote interaction and skill transfer

Teleoperation with Haptic Devices

• Guidance on programming haptic devices for remote interactions

• Gain hands-on experience working with virtual reality environments

Drone Manipulation

• Develop a deep understanding of drones and advanced concepts in SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping)

• Implement basic semi-automatic control, collision avoidance, and motion planning to get drones running in simulation and the real-world

Final Project

• Use haptic devices to remotely control the Franka robot to execute desirable tasks;

• Or use haptic devices to remotely control drones to accomplish desired tasks.
