ELT1130: Robotics 1
Students apply the fundamentals of robotics systems and basic robotics functions.
Theory
In a document, slide deck, video, or other (approved) medium:
- What are some ways that applications of robotics systems have changed over time?
- Describe, using words, drawings, and images, various robotics geometric systems.
- Distinguish among different robotics subsystems and their applications.
- Describe some differences between AC and DC motors.
- Identify problem or task for robotics systems.
- Describe various alternative types of power sources for robots.
- Complete or update a personal inventory; e.g., interests, values, beliefs, resources, prior learning and experiences. Include how this would relate to possible future jobs.
Practice
- Design and construct a system to control a motor.
- Prototype a direct control robotics unit to illustrate the:
- use of computer-aided design
- hydraulic, pneumatic, and electromechanical interfacing
- Demonstrate the operation of a robot through its predetermined set of functions.
