ELI3610 Robotics Course description

Throughout the course, students will learn to analyze and calculate robot movements, program and control various types of robots, and utilize sensors and actuators to provide real-time adaptation and intelligence. Physical prototyping and robot construction offer a concrete understanding of how theory is translated into real-world solutions.

Language of instruction: Norwegian

The course builds on MEK1000 Mathematics 1000.

No requirements over and above the admission requirements.

After completing the course, the student is expected to have achieved the following learning outcomes defined in terms of knowledge, skills and general competence:

Knowledge

The student will learn about:

• use of robots in industry and research
• calculation and analysis of robot movement
• programming and control of different robot types
• common sensors, actuators and control electronics in robotics
• physical prototyping and building of robots

Skills

The student is capable of:

• programming and verification of solutions on a real robot
• choose relevant sensors and actuators for a robot system
• processing simple sensor data

General competence

The student:

• discuss and justify own choices and priorities in development of robot systems
• develop robot systems from the planning phase to prototype testing

• modeling and analyis of robot movements,
• programming and control of various types of robots, and utilize
• sensors and actuators in robotics
• physical prototyping and robot construction

Classroom teaching combined with group work, laboratory work and guest lectures.

The following coursework is a part of the portfolio and therefore needs to be approved to pass the exam:

• 4 laboratory exercises in groups of 2-4 students
• 4 individual assignments given during the semester

The exam is a portfolio exam consisting of the following:

• Results of four assignments given out during the semester
• Reports from four laboratory exercises
• Project report prepared in groups of 2-4 students. The report should be approximately 20-30 pages, including content list and reference list
• Video presentation of the project

Each student's work will be assessed together as a portfolio with one individual grade at the end of the semester.

In group work, the students’ different contributions must be reflected in the submitted work. Normally, all members of the group receive the same grade, but in exceptional cases, individual grades may be assigned within groups after further assessment. In such cases, all students in the relevant group will be informed that grades will be given individually before the grades are published.

The exam can be appealed.

In the event of a resit or rescheduled exam, an oral examination may be used instead. In case an oral exam is used, the examination result cannot be appealed.

All.

Grade scale A-F.

One internal examiners. The course may be selected for grading by external examiners.

The course overlaps 10 ECTS with ELVE3610
