Summary
In the course, students will get acquainted with the wheel and crawler chassis of service robotic systems. They will learn how to design and dimension chassis for the required service scenario. They will also be introduced to various ways of steering wheel and crawler chassis.
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
In this course, students will be acquainted with chassis of chassis and robotic systems. They will learn how to design and customize such a chassis for the defined service scenario.
