    • Introduction to Robotics: Design Laboratory . ME 179L

    Design, programming, and testing of mobile robots. Design problems are formulated in terms of robot performance. Students solve electromechanical problems, developing skills in brainstorming, concept selection, spatial reasoning, teamwork and communication. Robots are controlled with micro-controllers using C programming and interfaced to sensors and motors.

    Prerequisites: Engr 3; and ME 6 or ECE 2A. Not open for credit to students who have completed ME 170C or ECE 181C.

    Office was kind of messy. As a person, kind of strange.

    Took Prof Visell's class during the pandemic and he transitioned to online classes perfectly and made the projects interesting and easy to collaborate on. His lectures get heavy on theory and formulas but the projects given and feedback we got made the class very interesting and helped me learn a lot about audio processing. Would def take again!

    Do not take a class with this guy. His lectures are mostly useless and he knows it, so he makes attendance mandatory by having you write matlab code every class. The projects are well beyond the scope of an intro class. He says you should do "extensive outside research" to be successful on the projects, but isn't it his job to prepare us for them?
