Course detail
The Morphological Analysis and Mechanics of Mobile Robots Undercarriadges
FSI-9MLU Acad. year: 2018/2019 Winter semester
There is shown an overview of general relations of constructional process in engineering (creative) activities with regard to the projection and designing of new technical objects. Mobile robots (AL – MR) belong, without any doubt, to these objects and there is selected the method of Morphological Analysis (MA) as a device to analyse the future structure of AL – MR. There are analysed all basic constructional nodes, groups and components from which are Mobile Robots consisted of. The evaluation of variant solutions of new AL – MR is then pursued by the methods of multi-criterial assessment. The Attention is also devoted to basic engineering computations in mechanics of Locomotor Systems, and especially to the wheeled or omnidirectional undercarriages.

Learning outcomes of the course unit
The acquired knowledge and the skills will draw on for an acceleration of the projection and the constructional works and a scientific assessment of the newly projected engineering work.
Prerequisites
Engineering knowledge of the construction, the projection and robot applications, especially in the engineering and electrical manufactures.
Co-requisites
Nothing.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes
There is necessary to work out an assigned semestral project and defend the work in an oral examination.
