ELEC-D1320 - Robotics, Lecture, 8.9.2022-8.12.2022

Guest access
Please note! Course description is confirmed for two academic years, which means that in general, e.g. Learning outcomes, assessment methods and key content stays unchanged. However, via course syllabus, it is possible to specify or change the course execution in each realization of the course, such as how the contact sessions are organized, assessment methods weighted or materials used.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

After the course the student knows how to mathematically model and control (move) a robot manipulator mechanism. He/she has gained practical knowledge to program an industrial robot manipulator. The student also knows the basics of kinematic models of mobile robot platforms.

    You can find more details of the robotics course from the front page of the MyCourses pages of the course ELEC-C1320 and from the slides of the opening lecture of ELEC-C1320.

Assessment Methods and Criteria

  • valid for whole curriculum period:

    Final exam, homework problems, robot online- and offline-programming exercises. The second part of the offline-programming exercise (main assignment) is required to pass the course.

  • applies in this implementation

    The course grade is determined by the final exam (60%), solutions of the homework problems (20%) and the main assignment part of the robot offline programming exercise (20%).

    If you have questions related to the grading of homework problem solutions or the final exam please contact Pekka Forsman, pekka.forsman@aalto.fi.

    (NOTE: The online-robot proramming exercise will not be arranged this year)
