| Description:
| Aims: The aim of the unit is to introduce the student to the design and manufacturing process of a robotic system. The unit will provide a broad understanding of mechanism and component design integrated with actuation and sensing. Design of robotics system from concept to implementation working as a team and individually. Learning Outcomes: After successfully completing this unit the student should be able to: * Produce and interpret designs for robotic systems; * Produce engineering sketches for both electrical and mechanical systems; * Select the appropriate manufacturing processes such as machining, forming and joining, and the heat treatment of metals. * Select from a range of traditional manufacturing processes for electrical and mechanical designs in robotics. Skills: * Problem solving [A/T] * Robotic design [T/A] * Design presentation [T/A] * Prototyping [T/A] * Using a workbook approach for independent learning [T] * Present information in a written form [T/A] * Planning, controlling and executing a project [T/A] * Team work [T/A] Content: The unit will include introducing mechanism design; manufacturing processes and electronic systems such as, micro-controller development boards, motors, actuators, servos, sensor prototyping modules. The integration of electromechanical systems will be illustrated using robotic/electronic consumer examples. |
