9/8 | CLASS CANCELLED! I can't make it to the first day of class! Sorry about that. I have to be at a wedding on that day. Instead, I'm holding office hours on Wedsneday and Thursday between 1pm and 5pm in the afternoon (9/6, 9/7) in my robotics lab at 090 ISEC. I would be happy to discuss with you what we will cover in this course, the workload, assignments, etc. You don't have to come to these office hours if you don't want. Instead, just have a look at the first day lecture notes and the video I've posted in the column to the right. Or, you can email me any questions. In any case, I hope you decide to take the course if you're interested in robotics! |
