Each
student will have to complete a programming project. The project consists of
designing, implementing, and experimenting with a motion planner to solve an
“interesting” problem. Ideally, each project will be done by a team of two
students, each bringing a different set of skills, e.g., 3-D graphics,
computational geometry, algorithms, and application area. But single-student
and three-student projects are also acceptable.
Students
are encouraged to choose the topics of their projects. In the past, several PhD
students who took this class chose a project that eventually became a major
part of their PhD theses, e.g., analysis of building code (motion planning for
wheelchairs), analysis of ligand-protein binding
motions, kinodynamic planning for space robots,
motion planning for rock-climbing robot, multi-robot motion planning,
coordination of cranes on construction sites, egress simulation.
You
will eventually demonstrate the implemented software graphically on multiple
examples. Those teams who are unsure of their abilities to demonstrate 3-D
simulators should opt for a project with 2-D graphics only.
Possible Project Topics:
Timetable:
- January 16: Form teams and pre-select
a project topic. Email us proposal with brief description
- January 16-23: Meet with me and/or Adi to refine your project topics
- February 9: Present your project topics
in class
- February 13 and 27: Email us progress reports
(a few lines each), but tell us asap
if you encounter substantial difficulties.
- March 9 and 11: Present your project
results in class: demos and powerpoint
slides. Each presentation will last about 20 min. You will describe your
project, show demos, and discuss limitations.
