Intended learning outcomes

After completing the course with a passing grade the student should be able to:

  • Use basic theoretical tools from robotics to describe and calculate kinematics and dynamics for robot systems with several degrees of freedom
  • account for and apply algorithms to generate path plans
  • account for and apply algorithms for high level task switching,
  • account for and apply algorithms for mapping
  • account for different methods for exteroceptive sensors as well as navigation and localisation
  • use modern software architectures for development of robot applications
  • summarise the included subject areas in robotics
  • account for different types of hardware and software that are used in robot systems

In order to:

  • Be able to participate in development and implementation of simple robot systems
  • Obtain a good basis for continued studies in robotics and related subjects

Course main content

Kinematics and dynamics for mobile and articulated robots. Description models applicable for robot system, such as Denavit-Hartenberg notation, homogeneous transforms etc
Sensors, actuators and other robot hardware
Algorithms for calculation of inverse kinematics, robot dynamics, trajectories and planning.
Software architectures for robot systems and simulators

Disposition
