Course content

The course will teach students to design a robot kinematics controller.

• CAD Design of Robot Arm
• Import CAD model to virtual environment and define properties.
• Introduce OPCUA, create OPCUA connection with virtual environment.
• Connect MATLAB with virtual environment through OPCUA.
• Calculate robot forward kinematics.
• Verify forward kinematics, and define forward kinematics function in MATLAB
• Calculate robot inverse kinematics (analytical solution)
• Introduction of nonlinear solver in MATLAB (numerical solution).
• Explain and demonstrate multiple solutions.

Objectives of the course

The course offers students insights of how to design an industrial robot kinematics controller. Students will use modern digital tools to verify, understand and visualize the mathematic process in a robot control system. The course provides elementary understanding of several engineering tools to assist the controller design process.

Upon completing this course, students are expected to get the following learning outcomes:

Knowledge and understanding:

• Knowledge about industrial robots and motion system.
• Basic knowledge about information sharing between different systems through common protocol.
• Knowledge about digital design.

Skills:

• Development of kinematics for industrial robots
• Have the skills to use simulation environment to create a virtual robot and be able to control the robot movement.

Competence:

• Kinematic design, visualization and simulation of Industrial Robot Systems
