Aim
This Unit of Study presents a broad overview of the technologies associated with industrial and mobile robots. The objective of the course is to provide students with the essential skills necessary to be able to develop robotic systems for practical applications.
Major topics covered are sensing, mapping, navigation and control of mobile robots and kinematics and control of industrial robots. The subject consists of a series of lectures on robot fundamentals and case studies on practical robot systems. Material covered in lectures is illustrated through experimental laboratory assignments. |
