Control, Instrumentation and Robotics
Track advisor: Professor John J. Leonard (jleonard@mit.edu)
Control, Instrumentation and Robotics or “CIR” or “2-A/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.
Recommended REST subjects: 1.00, 6.00, 6.002, 6.041, 6.071
Note: You may only include one introductory/REST subject in your concentration. The following classes from the CS minor are introductory: 6.0001/6.00, 6.042 (REST)/18.200, 6.004 (REST), and 6.008.
Recommended Course 2 Subjects
- 2.003 (or 2.03 + 2.031) Dynamics and Control I – counts as 2.03 + 6 units in your concentration
- 2.004 Dynamics and Control II – counts as 2.04A + 6 units in your concentration
