Objectives:

  • Create a ROS based design and model of walking space robot from existing mechanical model.
  • Motion planning for end-to-end walking.
  • Using the simulation model for controlling a prototype real robot ( If time permits ).

Outcomes:

  • Understanding  ROS and modelling of a robot from its mechanical design.
  • Understanding of Robot Kinematics and motion planning.

Requirements:

  • Knowledge of basic Python/c++ programming.
  • Good mathematics understanding.
