Course description and aims

Students form relatively small groups and construct their own unique autonomous robot for a given contest. Through this process, students are expected to have experience of realizing ideas on the robot exploiting all the available resources obtained in the courses in this department.
Students will be familiarized with the system construction process through the group project using the knowledge of microcomputers, sensors and actuators, electrical circuits, and all the techniques in systems and control engineering.

Student learning outcomes

By the end of course, students will have the ability to:
1) construct a unique autonomous robot by integrating the knowledge in both hardware and software
2) manage a group project
3) have skills to communicate with other engineers through the contest and poster sessions

Keywords

Autonomous robots, Mechatronics, group project, project management

Competencies that will be developed

Specialist skills Intercultural skills Communication skills Critical thinking skills Practical and/or problem-solving skills

Class flow

At the beginning of the course, tutorial assignments are given to refresh the memory and skills on mechatronic systems. Then there are 18 workshop sessions to construct autonomous robotic machines along with interview sessions and 2 contests to show the performance of the machines. At the end of the course, 2 poster sessions are scheduled to present what each group has done in this group project.
