The Special Design of Industial Robots and Manipulators (FSI-9SKR)

Academic year 2022/2023
Supervisor: doc. Ing. Radek Knoflíček, Dr.  
Supervising institute: ÚVSSR all courses guaranted by this institute
Teaching language: Czech or English
Aims of the course unit:

The aim of subject is to inform about new knowledges about modern parallel kinematics structures of industrial robots or machining machines am machines area.
Learning outcomes and competences:

The acquired knowledge and the skills could be drawn on for the work of the project engineer, the design engineer or the scientific-research worker from the branch of the structure of IRaM or the construction of Machine Tools (MT).
Prerequisites:

Candidates should be familiarized with the problems of the construction of IRaM (Industrial Robots and Manipulators) and MT (Machine Tools) at the engineering level.
Course contents:
The subject is aimed at PhD. students who have the interest in the study of Parallel Kinematical Structures (PKS) of IRaM in detail. The attention is also devoted to machine tools of unconventional constructions. There will be analysed the structure of PKS, their characteristics, advantages, disadvantages and applications in machinary.
Teaching methods and criteria:

The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline. In the case of measures to prevent the spread of the infectious disease COVID-19, the necessary on-line participation.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes:

There is necessary to work out an assigned semestral project and defend the work in an oral examination.
Controlled participation in lessons:

It is recommended both the attendance at lectures and the self-study of available literature and internet sources, as well as consultations with the lecturer. Individual elaboration of semestral work. Change in covid-19 containments reserved.
Type of course unit:
    Lecture  10 × 2 hrs. optionally                  
Course curriculum:
    Lecture 1. to 2. The history of machines and devices with PKS
3. to 4. Elements arrangement in PKS system
