COMP0244 Legged Robotics Systems

Undergraduate/Postgraduate Module, University College London, Department of Computer Science, 2025

This module provides students with the opportunity to deepen their knowledge on legged robotic systems. Unlike wheeled robots, which are constrained to flat surfaces, or drones, which face limitations due to safety and power consumption, legged robots offer a versatile alternative. Inspired by natural organisms, these systems have demonstrated remarkable success in navigating challenging environments, from climbing staircases to traversing mountainous terrains while carrying heavy loads.

COMP0205 Mechatronics and Making

Undergraduate Module, University College London, Department of Computer Science, 2025

Mechatronics is an interdisciplinary field that combines mechanical engineering, electronics, computer science, and control systems, and is crucially important for modern society. In this module, students will learn to design and analyse integrated robotic systems, solve problems and investigate case studies, obtain vital hands-on experience while working with practical small-scale manufacturing hardware, and study various aspects of ethics in application to robotics and AI systems.
