Learning objectives
To develop the students understanding of industrial robotics. To develop an appreciation of the contrasting application of robots different industrial sectors. To introduce the students to basic elements of industrial robots, mechanical construction, drives, sensors and control systems.
Succesful student of the course should be able to:
- describe basics of industrial manipulator construction
- actively use homogeneous transformations
- solve forward kinematics of industrial manipulators
- program basic functions of industrial manipulators
