Robotic Arm Project (3 op)

Tavoitteet

Students acquire knowledge about basic robotics (mechanics, electronics and programming). They should be able to understand the inner workings of a robotic system and basic pattern recognition.

Sisältö

Manually operated robotic arms delivered as kits should be assembled and thereafter complemented with µC-based controllers. This includes complete rewiring of the actuators to drive motors electronically as well mounting of sensors (e.g. rotary encoders, etc.) and connection of all parts to the µC-Board. Programming of the µC should include basic routines for decoding sensor signals and driving the actuators, as well as a basic decoder for external commands to the robot. Additionally, cameras and pattern recognition should be applied to create a safety area that the robot and a human worker can use jointly.

Esitietovaatimukset

Students should have basic knowledge about electronics, sensors, actuators and programming.
