Students have the competences and skills for innovatively designing mechatronic systems. They can resort to an advanced basic knowledge in the area of technical engineering, material sciences and power electronics and can develop innovative solution and application approaches for technical problems in relevant industrial areas, assess their suitability for application and eventuallyconstructively imply the measures.

Advanced knowledge of the different robotic systems (serial robots, parallel robots and other unorthodox kinematic structures); singularities and cuspidal robots. Exact solving of kinematic problems (forward kinematics, inverse kinematics, degrees of freedom, singularity avoidance) using methods in algebraic geometry and computer algebra. Topics from robotic papers and journals.

Continuous assessment (based on regular written and/or oral contribution by participants).

Exercises and a project.
