After successful completion of the course, students are able to understand the structure and funcionality of robot, history, actual state and development trends in the robotics and robotics based automation.

Within the framework of the lesson, the students have the opportunity to familiarise themselves with a robot simulation software. For this purpose, it is necessary that students bring their own laptop from the 2nd lecture onwards. Optionally, several students can work on one laptop, but this is not recommended.

Fundamentals of Robotics: Development, Definitions and Applications. Terminology, standardisation and norms or guidelines. Design of robotic systems. Design of workstations. Operating modes of robots: pose-to-pose, continuous path. End-effectors. Control algorithms and strategies. Human interaction with robots. Offline programming and teaching of robots. Integration and installation of robots in production systems. Application of industrial robots. Mobile robots. Service robots. Sensors. Image processing systems. Modern research projects and technical development in robotics.

Case study of modern industrial robots and robot systems.

The students work on a project and are continuously questioned about it orally.

The project must be fully worked out.
