Brief description of the Unit

This unit encompasses an in depth analysis of robotic systems and focuses on the contemporary engineering methods for dynamic modelling and simulation of robots. This unit is designed to enable students to solve real world dynamic problems involving a wide range of industrial applications. Throughout the unit students will use computer algebra systems such as Maple for dynamic analysis and for correlation of results obtained through computer modelling with those measured experimentally in the laboratory or industrial setting.
