1. Prerequisites

At the start of this course the student should have acquired the following competences:
Specific prerequisites for this course:
  • Mechanics (as seen by 1Ba HI),
  • Electromechanics (as seen by 3Ba HI),
  • Electronics (as seen by 1Ma HI)



2. Learning outcomes

The students acquire knowledge of the techniques used to control physical systems by computers in the course of a realistic but simple robotics project.  They will make use of their knowledge of technological systems as acquired in the courses (mechanical structures, electronics, electric machines, systemstheory) in the course of this project.



3. Course contents


The fundamental technologies of current robotics systems and their underlying concepts are discussed in the framework of a robotics project.  Special emphasis is put on the advancing digitisation of hitherto analog systems.  The different components comprising a digital, intelligent, system in an analog world are discussed:
  • realisation of an (analog) robotic system (mechanics + actuators + sensors),
  • converting between analog and digital signals,
  • digital processing of acquired sensorsignals to realise intelligent control of a robot.



4. Teaching method

Directed self-study
Project-based work:
  • In group



  • 5. Assessment method and criteria

    Continuous assessment:
  • Assignments

  • Presentation

    6. Study material

    Required reading

    notes + additional material distributed in the course of the project


    Optional reading

    The following study material can be studied on a voluntary basis:
    none
