The Special Desing and Applications of Mobile Robots (FSI-9KAR)

Academic year 2020/2021
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 the subject is to inform about the general information from the scientific discipline called robotics and the presentation of practical results of the projection, the construction, the production and the experimental operations of MR, especially at BUT FME (Brno).
Learning outcomes and competences:
The acquired knowledge and the skills can be drawn on for the solution of the current demands for highly-purpose automation means which are the Mobile Robots in general.
Prerequisites:
Candidates should be familiarized with the problems of the construction of MR at engineering level.
Course contents:
The subject is aimed at PhD students who are focusing on the study, the development, the research, the projection and the construction or the laboratory prototype production of Mobile Robots (MR). There is shown an overview of MR which are currently developing as well as the MR in common use. The overview will refer to the robots on land (walking, jumping, wheeled, tracked and hybrid MR) in the sea and air. There are not left out the MR for exploration of planet surfaces and for using in cosmic space.
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:
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.
Type of course unit:
