KEY LEARNING OUTCOMES OF THE COURSE UNIT (On successful completion of this course unit, students/learners will or will be able to)

Apply math, science and engineering knowledge. This course covers the basic fundamentals for robot control. It requires linear algebra and differential equations knowledge and ability to apply mathematical fundamentals for modeling.
Design a system, component or process to meet desired needs. The students are required to design simple and complex (model based) controllers for robot manipulation.
Ability to identify formulate and solve engineering problems. The course teaches the fundamentals to model a robotic manipulator. Given a certain manipulation task the student is required to understand and formulate the necessary control architecture.
Use of modern engineering tools. Computer simulation tools are used to better understand the manipulator dynamics. A specific homework is given to simulate and control a two link arm.
