1. screw systems and examples; elements of geometry of the systems
2. velocity and singularity kinematics of mechanism for robotics; classification of singularities and examples
3. examples and applications
The present course is intended for providing the students with the fundamental mechatronic concepts and related modelling and simulation technologies enabling the realization of reconfigurable, soft, dexterous manipulating and mobile, modular robotic structures. Modelling and simulation of distributed sensorial, actuation and control systems are as well included in the course educational targets.
Learn and understand the motion of mechanisms, their kinematics and singularities, at a level of detail higher than the one achieved in the course Mechanics of mechanisms and machines
Elements of screw theory: preferably the course Mechanics of mechanisms and machines
Classroom lectures using the board. all will be done together at the board, no slides. progressive discussion of the subjects based on feedback from the students on understanding and handling of the topics and tools
