Next three weeks


The structure of the following weeks consists of the following topics:

Lectures 1 and 2 :Robotic actuators. For week ending 10 September
Lectures 3 and 4: Industrial Robotics. For week ending 17 September
Lectures 5 and 6: History. For week ending 24 September

Most of the above will be delivered formally with slides and videos.
This will all be testable in the final test.

Students will be expected to research aspects of the above topics too and to deliver some small presentations.

Simultaneous with this the building of the robots up to the stage of simple movement. A typical session will consist of a lecture then some time to explore practical parts of the course.

Up to two of the above sessions will be replaced by Lego robot sessions with some younger students. The dates are not clear to me yet.

Dates to be decided in class.

  1. Delivery of example videos on Lego robots.
  2. Presentation on a history topic.
  3. Delivering sample Lego lessons to peers.
  4. Delivery of sample lessons to lecturer.

  • You will be expected to pick an actuator to deliver to class with video or negotiated equivalent.
  • Also required will be a talk from you about an industrial robot.
  • The dates and further requirements will be discussed in class and published on this blog.
