Learning Outcomes

(BH1) Describe the main components of a robotic system.

(BH2) Critically assess a number of scenarios where deploying/using a robotic system may be favourable from safety, social, economical and/or ethical perspectives.

(BH3) Design, model and simulate a simple robotic system with a manipulator to perform a particular task.

(BH4) Derive and apply kinematic and dynamic models of a robotic system.

(BH5) Describe, explain and implement sensing and actuation systems in a robotic system.

(BH6) Define and implement a control system for navigation and manipulation of a robotic system.
