High-Generations Robotic Systems (FSI-GRO)

Academic year 2018/2019
Supervisor: prof. Ing. Zdeněk Kolíbal, CSc.  
Supervising institute: ÚVSSR all courses guaranted by this institute
Teaching language: Czech
Aims of the course unit:
The acquisition of basic knowledge in the area of design, control, and use of robotic systems of higher generations, in the area of designing autonomous locomotive robots, adaptive end-effectors and bio-mechanisms. A survey of basic methods of artificial intelligence and control of these systems (autonomous, MASTER-SLAVE also by means of signals EMG).
Learning outcomes and competences:
The course will enable the students to solve sophisticated multidisciplinary technical problems and to find their way round the problems of designing and using robotic systems of higher generation while solving sophisticated industrial applications in the area of manipulation, assembling, navigation, and cooperation and prosthetics including servicing.
Prerequisites:
Thorough and detailed knowledge of design of industrial robots and manipulators and their control and programming
Course contents:
The course is a follow up to the knowledge acquired by students in the course"Design and construction of stationary industrial robots and manipulators". The course will enrich their basic knowledge with about uptodate technical trends in the area of mobile robots and automation devices including activation adaptive end-effectors, biomechanical systems implementing controllers and sensors on the basis of methods of artificial intelligence.
Teaching methods and criteria:
The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes:
The examination consists of a written part where the student works out selected issues of lectures (particular issues and topics will be set up at the beginning of the second part of lectures). The second part of the examination is oral and it will assess the student in terms of his/her creative skills of how to apply the acquired theoretical and practical knowledge while solving a particular technical problem.
Controlled participation in lessons:
Checking of knowledge in the exercises in the frame of the lectures
