Objectives of the course
The course offers students insights into how to design an industrial robot kinematics controller. Students will use modern digital tools to verify, understand and visualize the mathematical process in a robot control system. The course provides elementary understanding of several engineering tools to assist the controller design process.
Upon completing this course, students are expected to get the following learning outcomes:
Knowledge and understanding:
- Knowledge about industrial robots and motion systems.
- Basic knowledge about information sharing between different systems through common protocol.
- Knowledge about digital design.
Skills:
- Development of kinematics for industrial robots
- Have the skills to use simulation environment to create a virtual robot and be able to control the robot movement.
Competence:
- Kinematic design, visualization and simulation of Industrial Robot Systems
