SDGs in focus: 4 - Quality Education
Learning outcomes
Learning outcomes
Once you have completed the study unit you will have:
The ability to design parts and assemblies of mechanical devices (knowledge,
skill)
The ability to validate and optimize engineering designs (knowledge, skill)
The ability to conduct engineering simulations and motion analyses of
designs (knowledge, skill)
To control the motion of a robot (knowledge, skill).
Gain an understanding of the underlying principles of how robots move and
how they are controlled. Students should be able to write programs that
control robots for picking-up/placing objects from the conveyor.
Understanding the various applications of robots and be able to discuss the
advantages and limitations of robots (knowledge, skill).
