Course content

  • Introduction to industrial robotics with an emphasis on robot manipulators.
  • Definition of local coordinate frames and rotational matrices.
  • Denavit-Hartenberg convention for deriving forward kinematics.
  • Techniques for calculating workspace and singularities.
  • Velocity kinematics and inverse kinematics.
  • Interpolation of point-to-point movements using polynomials and trajectory tracking.
  • Force control and independent joint control.
  • Object detection and configuration with robot vision.
  • Use of ROS (Robot Operating System) for programming and application of robot manipulators.

Learning outcome

Knowledge: The candidate can explain

  • the structure and purpose of industrial robots
  • the term kinematics in the context of robotics
  • the purpose of and the general functionality of ROS
  • the role of the trajectory planner in robotic operations
  • the functioning and application of robot vision

Skills: The candidates can

  • outline the design of industrial robot workstations.
  • calculate position and speed of a general robot manipulator.
  • solve the inverse kinematics problem for specific robot manipulators.
  • Generate smooth movements for robot manipulators and implement them in software.
  • use robot vision to estimate the position of objects.
  • program simple grasping tasks for robot manipulators
  • program robot manipulators using Robot Operating System (ROS)

General competence: The candidate wields a combination of theoretical and practical skills within the subject area, providing a base for solving practical problems in a professional setting - and for further education within the subject area.

Digitization: The course contributes by the candidate being able to use modern computer tools as an aid in all the mentioned skills
