Purpose of class
Acquire knowledge on robotics by learning basic knowledge necessary for robot system development from both aspects of elemental technology and systematization technology.
Course description
In this course, the stundents learn robotics which is integrated and systematized basic engineerings such as electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, information engineering, control engineering, etc.
Students learn basic knowledge of both elemental technologies (dynamics, mathematics, information processing, etc.) and systematization technologies (hardware, software) which are necessary for robot system development.
Goals and objectives
  1. Understand the structure and mechanism (hardware) of each element making up the robot and the robot system, and solve simple application problems by utilizing knowledge such as mathematics and mechanics.
  2. Understand the structure of the control system (hardware, software) for operating the robot and solve the related simple application problems.
  3. Understand the mechanism of motion control of robot manipulator, mobile robot, flying robot and solve the related simple application problems.
  4. Understand the surrounding environment recognition method of the robot and how to use it, and solve related simple application problems.

Evaluation method and criteria
Achievement targets 1, 2, 3, and 4 are evaluated according to the results of mini tests in class (40%), assignments (20%), and a final exam (40%).
The pass / fail of this course is judged by the total point of the mini tests in class, assignments, and the final exam. In some cases, it may increase the number of assignments.
For the comprehensive evaluation, allocate 40% of the mini tests in class, 20% of the assignments, and 40% of the final exam, and pass the total score rate of 60% or higher. If the students can solve the basic exercise problems dealt in the course, they can get that scores of 80%or more.
