Course description and aims

This course will provide a comprehensive overview of robot control. Starting from the basis of kinematics and dynamics of manipulators, control of wheeled robots, redundant manipulators, and group robots will be introduced. At the end of the course, students must be able to derive controllers using model-based position control, impedance control, hybrid control, Lyapunov-stability based control.

Many types of robot have been introduced in our society. Through the course, students will gain an understanding of control system that will lead them to advanced control theory and realization of their own robotic systems.

Student learning outcomes

At the end of the course, students must be able to derive controller for robots by using model-based control, Lyapunov-stability based control, and to become familiar with control methods for redundant manipulator, mobile robots, and group robots.

Keywords

Model-based control, Lyapunov stability, Redundant manipulator

Competencies that will be developed

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

Class flow

In class, quiz or short report will be presented to introduce the topics of the lecture. Then, main points will be discussed.
