Course detail

High-Generations Robotic Systems

FSI-GRO-KAcad. year: 2012/2013

The course is a follow up to the knowledge acquired by students in the course"Design and construction of stationary industrial robots and manipulators". The course will enrich their basic knowledge with about uptodate technical trends in the area of mobile robots and automation devices including activation adaptive end-effectors, biomechanical systems implementing controllers and sensors on the basis of methods of artificial intelligence.

Learning outcomes of the course unit

The course will enable the students to solve sophisticated multidisciplinary technical problems and to find their way round the problems of designing and using robotic systems of higher generation while solving sophisticated industrial applications in the area of manipulation, assembling, navigation, and cooperation and prosthetics including servicing.

Prerequisites

Thorough and detailed knowledge of design of industrial robots and manipulators and their control and programming

Co-requisites

Not applicable.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

Teaching methods depend on the type of course unit as specified in the article 7 of BUT Rules for Studies and Examinations.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

The examination consists of a written part where the student works out selected issues of lectures (particular issues and topics will be set up at the beginning of the second part of lectures). The second part of the examination is oral and it will assess the student in terms of his/her creative skills of how to apply the acquired theoretical and practical knowledge while solving a particular technical problem.
