ECE 4290 - Autonomous Vehicles

Institution:

Utah Tech University

Subject:

Description:

Design of guidance, navigation, and control for autonomous vehicles. Students are taught to develop a full autonomy stack including system modeling, control laws, sensors, state estimation, guidance, and navigation. The concepts taught in this course can be applied to aircraft, submarines, boats, cars, multi-rotors, helicopters, rockets, or satellites. However, particular attention is given to uncrewed fixed-wing aircraft. **COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES (CLOs)** At the successful conclusion of this course students will: At the successful conclusion of this course, students will be able to: 1) Explain the physical implications of the unconstrained 6 degrees of freedom equations of motion. 2) Interpret the notation, conventions, and terminology commonly used in autonomy engineering. 3) Identify common sensors for autonomous vehicles including capabilities and limitations. 4) Design and simulate each block in the autonomy stack for a given vehicle. 5) Acquire and apply new knowledge using appropriate learning strategies. Prerequisites: MECH 3200 (grade C- or higher) OR Instructor Permission. SP
