Intended learning outcomes
The aim of the course is to provide good knowledge about the design of robotic systems, their function, programming and applications.
After passing the course, you should be able to:
- explain the design of a robotic system
- describe the limitations and possibilities of robots
- explain and make use of the safety requirements for robotic use in a practical way
- master the basics of robot programming, which means to:
- Account for the most common robot programming languages on the market
- Explain the meaning of the different programming paradigms, “on-line”, “ off-line” and “play-back”
- Structuring robot programs that are safe and easy to maintain
- Apply one of the most common languages, such as Rapid
- Create robot programs from both “online” and “offline” environments - program a robotic system
- use tools for simulation of robotic systems
- descibe the necessary steps in project planning
- describe sensor systems and tools used together with robots.
