Description
The course provides a general understanding of the theory of robotic manipulator, and how robots are used in conjunction with external devices such as camera to perform automation tasks.
Students will develop skills in the analysis of articulated robotic arm as well as the synthesis of complete robotic systems.
The course will specifically:
• Develop mathematical skills for analysis and synthesis of robotic manipulators;
• Develop skills in selection of different robots and systems for various automation tasks;
• Provide knowledge of future trends in robotics and industrial automation.
Upon successful completion of this course, you should be able to:
• Understand the theory of robotic manipulators for analysis and synthesis of armed robots;
• Develop creative solutions to robotics and automation problems;
• Simulate the motion of articulated robots;
• Control the robot arms to follow a prescribed trajectory;
• Understand how robots identify objects and determine the object positions using cameras;
• Program an actual robotic manipulator using state-of-the-art software.
The content / syllabus of the module includes spatial transformations and descriptions, robot kinematics, robot dynamics, machine vision, trajectory planning, control of robots, robot work-cell design and robot programming.
