The course provides the foundations for the mechanical design of systems for automation (robots and mechatronic systems).
Provide students with knowledge of the main serial and parallel robotic architectures and typical configurations of mechanical systems for automation. Provide students with the skills to develop the kinematic and dynamic analysis of robotic and serial architectures and to design simple fluid automation systems.
The course aims to provide students with critical knowledge of serial and parallel robotic architectures and typical configurations of mechanical systems for automation, as well as the ability to develop their kinematic, dynamic, and workspace analysis.
At the end of the course, the student should be able to:
• Choose the most suitable type of robotic architecture or mechanical system based on the task
• Analyze its kinematics, dynamics, and workspace
• Choose the main components of a fluid automation and braking system based on functional specifications
Theoretical lessons integrated with examples and exercises, also by means of MatLab.
The lessons are available on Aulaweb.
It’s highly recommended to attend the course.

Oral exam.
The oral examination is a discussion about the content of the course, also with numerical examples.
The oral exam allows for the verification of knowledge of the main types of mechanical systems for automation and the verification of operational skills that enable the development of kinematic and dynamic analysis and the sizing of mechanical systems for automation.
