Content, progress and pedagogy of the module

Learning objectives

Knowledge

  • Have knowledge about the fundamentals of the different robotic systems
  • Be able to develop models of robotic systems including actuators and sensors
  • Be able to design controllers for considered robots in the presence of uncertain and possibly varying system parameters
  • Have knowledge on centralized and distributed control of robot manipulators

Skills

  • Be able to analyse system dynamics as basis for controller dimensioning
  • Be able to apply the obtained models for linear and non-linear observer designs
  • Be able to design both motion and force controllers for robotic systems
  • Be able to perform trajectory planning and apply path-following control algorithms

Competences

  • Independently identify and analyse robotic systems
  • Independently be able to design and apply modelling and control techniques for the robotic automation systems
  • Have a fundamental understanding of typical actuators and measurements on the considered systems

Type of instruction

The programme is based on a combination of academic, problem oriented and interdisciplinary approaches and organised based on the following types of instruction that combine skills and reflection:

  • Lectures
  • Class teaching
  • Project work
  • Work shops
  • Exercises (individually and in groups)
  • Supervisor feedback
  • Professional reflection
  • Portfolio work
  • Laboratory work

Extent and expected workload

Since it is a 5 ECTS project module, the work load is expected to be 150 hours for the student
