In this basic laboratory, basic concepts in robotics and controlling a robot arm are taught using exercise sheets and laboratory experiments.

The basic laboratory consists of 6 experiments and one final presentation.

First moves with blockyFirst moves with pythonIntroduction to simulation using GazeboControlling the robot with MODBUSSpeech recognition to control the robot (for beginners, introduce to the speech recognition python library)Control the robot with a web interfaceAssembly Order pickingLoading & Unloading Machine toolCollaborative robotics (introduce teachable machine for gesture recognition)Forward kinematics : Calculus to find the forward kinematics model of the robot

Orally and Written

The examination covers the theory underlying the exercises and experiments, the practical implementation and written lab reports as well as a final presentation.

The grade consists of:35% Lab report: Written report on one given Excercise per group.35% Presentation: Presentation on one given Excercise per group.30% Oral: Review of preparation for the experiment using the task sheet provided in advance.
