Laboratory exercises

Course Description

Dear students, robotics practicum will teach you: Fundamentals of the kinematics of robotic manipulators How to design your robotic constructions Create your projects with 3D printing and CNC machines Operate servo motors to actuate your robots Basics of robotic vision How to program your robots in MATLAB to perform a certain robotic task. In the first part of the course you will listen to lectures and laboratory exercises that will explain the above topics, and at the end of the course, working in teams, you will assemble and program your robots to perform a given seminar assignment.
