This is the index page for RBE 3001 wiki topics. This is the third of the four-course Unified Robotics sequence introducing foundational theory and practice of robotics engineering from the fields of computer science, electrical engineering and mechanical engineering. The focus of this course is actuator design, embedded computing and complex response processes. Concepts of dynamic response as relates to vibration and motion planning will be presented. The principles of operation and interface methods various actuators will be discussed, including pneumatic, magnetic, piezoelectric, linear, stepper, etc. Complex feedback mechanisms will be implemented using software executing in an embedded system. The necessary concepts for real-time processor programming, re-entrant code and interrupt signaling will be introduced. Laboratory sessions will culminate in the construction of a multi-module robotic system that exemplifies methods introduced during this course.
The WPI course catalog recommends taking RBE 2002 (Unified Robotics 2: Sensing), ECE 2049 (Embedded Computing in Engineering Design), CS 2102 (Introduction to Object Oriented Programming), MA 2051 (Differential Equations), and MA 2071 (Linear Algebra) before this course.
Gompei the goat suggests having a real good grasp on your linear algebra and highly recommends taking 2049 BEFORE taking this class. Systems Programming is also a very useful class to take before this course in addition to the official recommendations. As always, this being a Unified Robotics course, expect a lot of work.
Contents
Datasheets and Hardware
These are the most important links for working with the hardware. RBELib & Eclipse Setup Guide. This includes the fusion forge setup.
Datasheets for all electronics can be found on the 3001 board page and info on the arm can be found on the 3001 arm page.
Software
Needed Software. Please refer to the Eclipse AVR RBE 3001 page and install guide.
Git Recommended help for learning git.

Pololu AVR programmer drivers It is easiest to install the Pololu AVR Development Bundle for Windows
Subclipse SVN Plugin Outdated. Switched to Git
Optional - Doxygen
This info is if you would like to add doxygen documentation to your project. It is here for reference so you can see how we compiled the RBELib documentation.
Install guide Pay careful attention to what command need to be available from the command prompt. If a command doesn't work you need to fix your systems PATH variable.
