Control, Instrumentation and Robotics [2/6]

Track advisor: Professor John J. Leonard (jleonard@mit.edu)

Control, Instrumentation and Robotics or “CIR” or “2/6″ is one of the most popular tracks in Course 2-A (Everybody loves robots!).  This track enables students to combine studies in mechanical design and control from Course 2 with circuits, electronics and programming from Course 6.  As with all 2-A tracks, there is a great deal of flexibility in designing your curriculum and most upper-level classes from course 2 and 6 may be counted in your concentration. 

(Note: one exception to this is 6.00 which may NOT be counted in your concentration because the concentration should consist of upper-level courses.)
