Robotics is a multidisciplinary field based on mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and software engineering. Therefore,
to conduct research in the field of robotics, a broad knowledge of these areas is necessary. This course explains topics related
to robotics in each of these fields, allowing students to learn how the technologies in each area are interconnected. Students
will also learn about the actual construction of robots and gain an understanding of the fundamentals of the latest topic,
robot middleware. Through individual assignments and group work, they will deepen their understanding and learn the basics
of robot design methods.
Understand the introductory concepts of the three fundamental engineering disciplines comprising mechanical functional engineering,
namely mechanical engineering, electronic engineering, and software engineering. Gain an understanding of the basic structure,
control circuits, and control program of robots. Engage in group work on the theme of robot middleware exercises, fostering
communication within the team.
- Understand the introductory concepts of the three fundamental engineering disciplines comprising mechanical functional engineering:
mechanical engineering, electronic engineering, and software engineering.
