Content, progress and pedagogy of the module

The module is based on knowledge achieved in the modules  Modelling and signal processing and Modern digital control or similar.

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 using digital platforms

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

Lectures with subsequent assignment calculations and laboratory work; possibly supplemented with self-study/study groups and e-learning activities.

Extent and expected workload

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