Learning outcomes:
Knowledge:
After the course the student will know:
- about the basic properties of materials, hooks law including elastic and plastic deformations and the relationship between static performance and dynamic performance of materials.
- about different methods for making custom designed parts, including 3D printing/fast prototyping; and casting and milling.
- about the range of components (actuators, transmissions, structural elements) available off-the-shelf from suppliers, and about their significant parameters.
- about the spectrum of design problems, from industrial design to research prototyping, with examples of different cases from different points on the spectrum.
Skills:
After the course the student will
- be able to use standard mechanical engineering CAD tools for designing of parts and assemblies.
- be able to use 3D printing equipment to make prototypes of parts given CAD models.
- be able to suggest and specify sensible actuator and transmission configurations for straightforward robot body plans, and know when to consult experts.
- be able to propose appropriate materials and structural configurations for a variety of simple robotic applications, and know when to consult experts.
Competences:
After the course the student will
- be able to talk intelligently with mechanical engineers about the mechanical aspects of robotic system designs
- be able to identify those areas of a robotic system that require expertise in the mechanical engineering domain
Lessons:
48
Form of instruction:
Lectures, tutorials, seminars and exercises
Examination conditions:
A prerequisite for taking the examination is that the mini-projects have been completed and meet the requirements announced at the start of the semester.
Evaluation
Individual internal examination based on three reports (mini-projects) handed in by each student during the semester. The reports are assessed by the teacher as pass/fail.
