| Brief description of the Unit |
This course introduces students to basic principles of Intelligent Mechanisms and kinematics and dynamics. This course will introduce design of specific advanced intelligent mechanisms with forward and inverse kinematics. Further, dynamics of mechanisms and control of mechanisms with PID, Joint space, operational space and force control. |

| Graduate Attributes: |
| Federation University recognises that students require key transferable employability skills to prepare them for their future workplace and society. FEDTASKS (Transferable Attributes Skills and Knowledge) provide a targeted focus on five key transferable Attributes, Skills, and Knowledge that are be embedded within curriculum, developed gradually towards successful measures and interlinked with cross-discipline and Co-operative Learning opportunities. One or more FEDTASK, transferable Attributes, Skills or Knowledge must be evident in the specified learning outcomes and assessment for each FedUni Unit, and all must be directly assessed in each Course.
