Course description and aims
Methods for kinematic synthesis of robot mechanisms such as serial mechanisms and parallel mechanisms are introduced.
Students can learn advanced methods of mechanism design of robots through theoretical explanations and practices.
Student learning outcomes
By the end of this course, students will be able to:
(1) Synthesize kinematic structures of robots in terms of their degrees of freedom
(2) Evaluate kinematic performances of robots in terms of their displacement, velocity and singularity characteristics
(3) Perform dimensional synthesis of robot mechanisms based on kinematic performance indices
(4) Obtain engineering senses for advanced design of robots
Keywords

| Class 1 | Classification of Robot Mechanisms and their Characteristics, Structures and Mobility | Types of mechanisms used in robots and their characteristics are learned in terms of their structures and mobility. |
| Class 2 | Displacement and Velicity Analysis of Robot (1) | Methods to analyze input-output relationship in displacement of robot mechanisms are learned. |
| Class 3 | Displacement and Velicity Analysis of Robot (2) | Methods to analyze input-output relationship in velocity of robot mechanisms are learned. |
| Class 4 | Singularity Analysis of Robot Mechanisms (1) | Types of singular configurations of robot mechanisms and thier characteristics are learned, specially focused on serial mechanisms. |
| Class 5 | Singularity Analysis of Robot Mechanisms (2) | Types of singular configurations of robot mechanisms and thier characteristics are learned, specially focused on parallel mechanisms. |
| Class 6 | MechanismsStructural Synthsis of Robot Mechanisms | Methods to determine kinematic structures of robots in terms of mobility are learned. |
| Class 7 | Kinematic Performance Evaluation and Dimensional Synthesis of Robot Mechanisms | Methods of kinematic performanace evaluation of robot mechanisms by means of Jacobian matrix and motion transmissibility are learned. |
Out-of-Class Study Time (Preparation and Review)
To enhance effective learning, students are encouraged to spend approximately 100 minutes preparing for class and another 100 minutes reviewing class content afterwards (including assignments) for each class.
They should do so by referring to textbooks and other course material.

Other
The lectures are done in a lecture room in Ookayam campus, in person. For students who
(1) belong to laboratories located in Suzukakedai campus and inconvenient to attend the lectures in the lecture room in Ookayama
(2) have special issues to prevent from attending the lectures in person,
lectures are provided on line. In such a case, please contact the instructor by email at the earliest convenience (takeda.y.aa@m.titech.ac.jp) .
