Components of robotic systems and their interconnectedness. Different types of robots, their kinematics, control methods, algorithms, and equations. Using robotic systems in different fields: production, mobile equipment, medicine, in households and logistics. Using robots for flexible manufacturing modules. Criteria and computational bases for choosing robotic drivers. Robotic drivers’ links. Links’ velocities, mass inertia. Forces and torque acting on robotic drivers’ spindles. Equation of motion and mechanical peculiarities of robotic drivers. Economic indicators for robotic systems.

The general objective of this course is to give students:
an overview of the basics of robotics and ethics
knowledge of widely used types of robots and their available functions
Knowledge of interconnectedness between different fields (mechanics, electrical engineering, informatics) and robotics
an overview of using robots for the purpose of automatization
Skills to compare and analyze robotic systems and their aptitude to solve the problems that arise during automatization
skills to calculate properties of critical elements in robotic systems
an overview of the economic side of using robots

The student:
Has knowledge about the history of robotics
Has knowledge about the components, build, field of application, management and control systems of robots
Can solve kinematic exercises, calculate loads and choose components for robots
Can analyze the usability of robots for solving problems
Understands and is able to judge the influence of robotic systems to a company’s economic situation

Lectures, independent work, laboratory exercises, final test.

The subject will end with a written final test. The successful completion of laboratory exercises is the precondition to attend the final test.
