Course description
Before starting the study of specialized subjects as a mechanical student, as a practical introduction subject, understand the overall concept of mechanical functional engineering while learning the basics of system development. In recent years, the academic fields handled by mechanical systems have become extremely wide, and it is required to acquire basic knowledge in a wider range of fields. In addition, it is important to know the concept of dealing with contents such as each academic field as a preparation for learning detailed knowledge of each field.
In this lecture, students will learn the basics of each field of mechanical engineering, electronic engineering, and software engineering by conducting basic characteristic evaluation and function expansion competitions using boxer robots.
Purpose of class
Understand the basics of engineering thinking methods using boxer robots as the subject. For example, the center of gravity of a robot can be understood in high school physics. However, what does it mean to actually consider the center of gravity of the robot in operating the system? How can I find the position of the center of gravity with an actual robot? Practice thinking methods that utilize knowledge in engineering systems and deepen understanding. Among mechanical engineering, understand the basics of mechanical engineering, electronic engineering, and software engineering that can be experienced at the boxer robot expansion competition while touching the actual system. By engaging in competitions as a group, you will experience the problem-solving process in system construction.
Goals and objectives
  1. Understand system development methods and their essential thinking methods.
  2. Learn the basics of the three basic engineering fields that consist of "Engineering Science and Mechanics", Mechanics, Electronics and Software engineering.
  3. Using the function expansion of a boxer robot as an example, develop the ability to practice system construction while actual tasks.
