Fall 2023 - Professor Hong is amazing, and gives a great introduction to the field of robotics and serial manuipulators. The class is usually half undergrad and half grad students. You can work on a team project (build a robot) or write a report, I think 90%-100% choose to do the project which is fun and requires dedication. The student presentations in the beginning of the lecture are very interesting as well and gives you a glimpse into various applications of robotics. Overall, this is one of my favorite classes. Also: check out Professor Hong's lab and their very impressive work/research.
