Course description
A robot is a system consisting of basic technologies such as mechanism, control, material, electrical and information. To apply the robot technology to the target work, it needs to design the system according to the objective. We will study how to systemize the basic technologies and how to find a solution for the social problem. In the class, we will discuss the actual problems and their solutions in the practical use of a robot to acquire the ability of solving a problem.
Purpose of class
The student can learn the methodologoly of a robot according to the social needs. The students can understand the elemental technoloy consisting of a robot and get the ability of system integration to meet the purpose.
