Course contents
This course is designed to give the student an in depth understanding of manipulative robotics. The course includes kinematics of multi-degree-of-freedom systems. Jacobian matrices, dynamics, robot trajectories and workcell design.
Project oriented functional programming of an industrial robot 8x2 lecture hours and 8x2 exercise hours.
Learning outcomes
The course introduces students to the analysis and use of robot manipulators (industrial robots), by exposing them to the theoretical basis of robotics as well as their practical implementation. By the end of the course students are expected to understand the ways in which robots are used in industrial and service applications; the selection process of robots for industrial applications; the main categories of robot frames of reference and the essentials of robot kinematics, dynamics and path planning. Specific topics covered include main uses, simulation, kinematics, dynamics, trajectory planning, parallel manipulators, preliminary robot workcell concepts and design. Major projects require students to apply the theory to integrate a real robot manipulator and simulation software to demonstrate the operation of a robot cell. High levels of problem solving skills and group work skills are developed throughout the projects.

Examination requirements
Compulsory projects and lab assignments. Information about this will be posted on Canvas at the start of the semester.
Teaching methods
Lectures, tutorials, practical projects and exercises.
Estimated work load for the average student is 27 hours per credit.
Evaluation
The person responsible for the course, in consultation with the student representative, decides the method of evaluation and whether the courses will have a midterm- or end of term evaluation, see also the Quality System, section 4.1. Information about evaluation method for the course will be posted on Canvas.
Offered as Single Standing Module
Yes. Subject to availability or capacity.
Assessment methods and criteria
Individual portfolio assessment. The portfolio must consists of exercises given in class, two assignments and one project report. Graded assessment of the portfolio (A-F). There will not be arranged a postponed exam for students who have not passed the portfolio.
