Summary
The course deals with methodics of the mechatronic approach to the design of industrial robots and manipulators. The main attention is paid to kinematic and dynamic analysis of the robot mechanisms and mathematic modeling of the individual subsystems – mechanical, drive and control subsystem, modeling of their main parameters and also to possibilities of the connection of the all subsystems into one simulation model. The individual subsystems are modeled using CAD system Pro/Engineer and simulating systems MSC Adams and Matlab.
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
The main objective of this subject is to obtain knowledge in area of computing of kinematic and dynamic values of serial kinematic structures of the industrial robots as the basic parameters for the synthesis of the robot control system that is based on the Computed Torque Control principle. During this course the students obtain necessary knowledge for the mechatronic approach to the robot design.
