Course Description

The lectures provide fundamental theoretical knowledge on lightweight industrial robots. First, you review the development and classification of robot manipulators. Then you work on the mobility of industrial robots and consider mathematical foundations for the position analysis. Since the theory-based lectures are complemented by lab classes, you apply your acquired knowledge in practical projects and exercises. By using standard software in robotics, you learn about sensors and their inaccuracy and solve tasks like mapping, navigation, planning, and reasoning.
