• is capable of finding the inverse kinematics of a mechanism
• is capable of calculating and understanding singularities that may arise
• is capable of programming a robot
• is knowledgeable about safety regulations
• is familiar with the useful properties of a robot in an industrial context
• has knowledge of the field of operation and tools of a robot
• has knowledge of sensors and actuators used in robotics

Skills

The student is capable of:

General competence

The student:

• is capable of assessing the expedience of an industrial robot solution
• is capable of discussing and justifying their own choices and priorities in relation to robot automation
• has basic knowledge of robotics

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

Teaching consists of lectures and seminars where students are actively involved through the presentation of assignments, discussion and reflection. Group work with supervision and skill training are also included. The students will write a portfolio assignment in groups and individually, and they will gather the basis for some of the assignments by visiting both the municipal health service and the local community.

In ERGO3100(b) the students complete a project in a company. The students must themselves obtain an agreement with the company.

1) Project assignment (5-20 pages) in groups of 2-4 students (30%).

2) Individual written exam, 3 hours (70%).

The exam result 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.

A minimum attendance of 80% is required in the introduction to the course, skills training, supervision, seminars and compulsory group work.

In order to sit the exam, the student must meet the compulsory attendance requirements.
