The main aim of this basic course is to give fundamentals and one overview of the robotics feld in english language. The students will get the main ideas, strategies and methods for topics: robotics and evolution of technology, design of industrial robots, robotized production systems, service robotics, present state and future trends in robotics, actual research projects in robotics. This course is special designed for students which are interested in robotics or automation and want to improve/refresh own technical english. The international / european guest-students are welcome.
