Course Objectives

[Purpose of study]
The purpose of this study is to acquire basic knowledge of robotics, such as general robot functions, configurations, operations, driving and control methods.
[Goal]
1.
Understand and explain the functions, configurations, operations, driving and control methods required for robots.
2. Learn how to design a machine, how to measure physical quantities, and the basics of machine control.
3 . We can understand engineering issues, consider the health and safety of the public, and create design solutions (systems, components, and processes) to solve them while taking into consideration cultural, social, and environmental perspectives.

[Related to Departmental Learning and Educational Goals]
This subject is the learning education goal of the Faculty of Science and Engineering "(3) Deepening of the basic expertise".

[Relationship with engineer education program]
The goal of this course is to deepen basic knowledge of (A) technology, A-2: "Materials and Structures," "Energy and Flow," "Information and Measurement and Control," "Design, Production and Management," and "Machines and Systems."

[Overview of the class]
We will explain how robots are made, how they are moved, and what properties they have by disassembling robots with the aim of deepening their expertise in the field of mechanical design and measurement control. In addition, the movement mechanism of the robot and the methodology and idea for realizing the function are shown, and the measurement and control technology such as the sensor which is a component of the robot is explained.
Style:
[Method of the class]
The class will be conducted mainly on the board, but it will be easier to understand the contents of the lecture through exercises, etc. In addition, by using materials such as materials and videos as appropriate to be aware of the relationship with actual technology, and by performing appropriate group work, students will have the opportunity to learn independently.

[Evaluation method]
4 regular exams (or reports) are evaluated equally (70%). In addition, evaluate exercises and group work (30%). Depending on the situation, the test may be re-tested, but the evaluation is up to 60 points. The evaluation method will be explained in class.
Notice:
[Notes on the course]
This course is a subject that requires students to study outside of class hours. Classes are offered for 15 credit hours per credit, but in addition to this, learning of 30 credit hours is compulsory. Follow the instructions of your faculty member about these learnings.

Advice:
The basics of robotics are based on mathematics, control engineering, physics, etc., but it is desirable to review the basic subjects listed below.

Basic Subjects:
Mechanical Design Drafting I. (2 years), Basic Linear Algebra (2 years), Material Mechanics I. (3 years), Mechatronics I. (3 years), Mechanical Design Drafting II (3 years), Material Mechanics II (4 years), Applied Mathematics I.II. (4 years), Control Engineering (4 years) Mechatronics II.(4 years) [Related Subjects] Robot Creation Exercise (4 years), Robotics Design (5 years), Robot Programming (5 years), Robot Control (5 years), Applied Design Engineering (Special 1), Control Equipment (Special Topics 1), Applied Control Engineering (Special 2)

[Advice on Taking]
The robotics range of industrial technologies involved is very broad and closely related to many fields. Therefore, I would like you to attend the lecture in perfect condition, such as reviewing basic subjects. Also, prepare a calculator for the exercise. For lateness, the number of late lessons will be applied according to the situation until 60 minutes after the start, but after that, it will be treated as a division. This course is related to mechatronics human resource development.
