FRTF20, 7,5 credits, G2 (First Cycle)

Valid for: 2019/20
Decided by: PLED F/Pi
Date of Decision: 2019-03-26

General Information

Main field: Production and Materials Engineering.
Elective for: D4-mai, E4, F4, I4, M4-me, M4-prr, MD4, Pi4
Language of instruction: The course will be given in English

Aim

The purpose of the course is to give basic knowledge in industrial robotics where theory is applied on industrial applied problems. The purpose is to provide an understanding on how theory within the subject of the course can be applied in a practical way from an engineering point of view to create models for analysis, simulation and programming, and create solutions on problems which focus on efficient use of robots in industry.

Contents

The course covers fundamental aspects of robotics for industrail use and focuses, in principle, on three problem areas: (1) Modelling of robots, (2) Programming and simulation of robots and (3) Design and development of robots in  e.g, manufacturing systems. The problem areas are defined in more detail at the start of each course. Within the problem areas, the following will in general be studied: characteristic features of robots with emphasis on the use in industry, programming and methods used in calibration and simulation, modelling and analysis of robot structures, use of robots in industry with adaptation and integration to processes, end-effectors and tools, safety and peripherals.

Examination details

Grading scale: TH - (U,3,4,5) - (Fail, Three, Four, Five)
Assessment: The course includes compulsory individual assignments and a course project performed in groups of three to five students. To pass the course (grade 3) students need to successfully complete the assignments and the project. For higher grades (4 and 5), a written exmination is also required.

The examiner, in consultation with Disability Support Services, may deviate from the regular form of examination in order to provide a permanently disabled student with a form of examination equivalent to that of a student without a disability.

Admission

Required prior knowledge: FRTF05 Automatic Control, Basic Course
The number of participants is limited to: No
The course overlaps following course/s: MMT150, MMKF15
