Course content
There are defined some basic terms of robotics in this subject. Robot is defined as a general cybernetic system. Then there are studied kinematics and dynamics of robots, actuators, grippers and their using, assembly lines, and so on. There follows the programming of robots with using RobotStudio, making and debugging of programs. General conceptions of control systems. Working and maintenance of manipulators. Introduction to biorobotics and medicine practices.

Learning outcomes
There are defined some basic terms of robotics in this subject. Robot is defined as a general cybernetic system. Then there are studied kinematics of robots, actuators, grippers and their using, assembly lines, and so on. There follows the programming of robots with using RobotStudio, making and debugging of programs. General conceptions of control systems.
Students will acquire the basic concepts of the application of robotics. They will be able to design simple robotic cells, program robots and to design simple sensor subsystems.
Prerequisites
