Unit description

Introduces students to the application of a systems-based engineering approach to design of industrial robotics systems. A scenario-based learning approach is used to guide students in applying a range of practical tools and techniques along with skills in systems analysis, engineering design and project management to a real industry-based engineering project.

Unit content

Module 1:  Introduction to Robotics and Robot Programming       

Module 2:  Robot Kinematics and Dynamics         

Module 3:  Robot trajectory planning      

Module 4:  Robot Control Systems           

Module 5:  Robot Perception, Sensors and Actuators        

Module 6:  Manipulators and gripping systems

Learning outcomes

Unit Learning Outcomes express learning achievement in terms of what a student should know, understand and be able to do on completion of a unit. These outcomes are aligned with the graduate attributes. The unit learning outcomes and graduate attributes are also the basis of evaluating prior learning.

On completion of this unit, students should be able to:
1employ a systems approach that accounts for existing and emerging practical knowledge of manipulator kinematics and dynamics and robotics architecture and design along with other relevant contextual factors to define and analyse a well-defined problem related to industrial robotics systems
2apply practical engineering methods, techniques, tools and resources to design solutions to a well-defined problem related to industrial robotics systems
3successfully complete and communicate the outcomes from a well-defined project related to industrial robotics systems
4self-assess use of management skills, social skills and professional judgement in contributing to the successful completion of a well-defined project related to industrial robotics systems.

Southern Cross University employs different teaching methods within units to provide students with the flexibility to choose the mode of learning that best suits them. SCU academics strive to use the latest approaches and, as a result, the learning modes and materials may change. The most current information regarding a unit will be provided to enrolled students at the beginning of the teaching period.
