Summary
With the advancement of service robotics and other related industries, the number of areas and applications in which these devices are used is expanding. Often basic platforms are used to enable the robot to move and action subsystems perform their own function. The aim of the course is to acquaint students with selected types of action subsystems, their characteristics and requirements. The graduate of the course will get an idea of the types and methods of action subsystems, the knowledge needed to specify the requirements for these subsystems and basic experience related to their design.
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
The aim of the course is to acquaint students with selected types of action superstructures, their characteristics and requirements. The graduate of the course will get an idea of the types of action superstructures and their operation, knowledge necessary for specifying the requirements placed on these subsystems and basic experience concerning their design.
