ELT2140: Robotics 2

Students demonstrate the fundamental concepts of sensor devices and control systems by building an electronic circuit to control a direct wire or mobile robot.

  1. design and build a sensor device and control system for the robotic system
    1. demonstrate the principles of photoelectric, sound, tactile, proximity and thermal sensors
    2. explain the operation of the electronic components and circuits used to build sensor controls
    3. explain how sensor control systems are used to control the drive circuit
    4. assemble electronic components to build a sensor
  2. identify sensor control systems and subsystems used in robotic systems
    1. draw and explain the various blocks in a sensor control system
    2. describe and explain sight, sound and tactile sensor devices
    3. explain the fundamentals of the control system operating the motor drives in the robotic system
    4. identify the differences among drive systems, sensor control systems and processing systems
  3. explain sensory control circuits and components used in the robotic control system
    1. research the benefits and drawbacks of various sensory devices that are used to control the robot
    2. describe where industry is making use of sensory control robots
  4. operate and demonstrate the capabilities of a robotic system equipped with sensor controls
    1. demonstrate a knowledge of sensory control systems by building a sensor control for the robot system selecting from the following:
      1. photoelectric
      2. sound
      3. tactile
      4. proximity
      5. thermal
    2. prototype a sensory control system and construct the circuit so that the sensor controls the motors on the robot
    3. build a sensory control and mount the sensory control on the control robot
    4. draw the schematic diagram of the sensor control circuit
  5. demonstrate established laboratory procedures and safe work practices
    1. demonstrate safe wiring practices when building a sensory control system
    2. use protection devices for all circuits including fusing and temperature cutoff
    3. operate robotic systems within design tolerances
  6. demonstrate basic competencies
    1. demonstrate fundamental skills to:
      1. communicate
      2. manage information
      3. use numbers
      4. think and solve problems
    2. demonstrate personal management skills to:
      1. demonstrate positive attitudes and behaviours
      2. be responsible
      3. be adaptable
      4. learn continuously
      5. work safely
    3. demonstrate teamwork skills to:
      1. work with others
      2. participate in projects and tasks
  7. identify possible life roles related to the skills and content of this cluster 1. recognize and then analyze the opportunities and barriers in the immediate environment 2. identify potential resources to minimize barriers and maximize opportunities
