Rules for evaluation and completion of the course

The content and forms of instruction in the evaluated course are specified by a regulation issued by the lecturer responsible for the course and updated for every academic year.

Aims

To inform students about current state and future of robotics. Also, to inform students about peculiarities of robotic systems and prepare them for introduction of robotic systems to industry.
Succesful student of the course should be able to:
- describe basics of industrial manipulator construction
- actively use homogeneous transformations
- solve forward and inverse kinematics of industrial manipulators
- program basic functions of industrial manipulators
- solve basic problems in mobile robot navigation, including GNSS and INS
- describe principals of visual telepresence
- actively use electrical and non-traditional actuators for mobile robot and industrial manipulator construction
