Fundamentals of robotics
This training is intended to provide the general and basic principles of robotics. They will be tackled through the two main aspects which are at its core: industrial and service robotics.
The training length is 5 days (30 hours) and relies on the robotic resources provided by the Toulouse AIP-PRIMECA. The 30 hours are organized as follows:
- 16h devoted to technical lectures, illustrated by practical examples
- 14h devoted to real world applications
The training provides a simple approach to robotics, presenting both the theoretical and practical concepts which are at the core of this domain. Thus, it first focuses on the fundamental concepts which allow to model and control a robotic system through lectures, before applying them through different practical works on the robotic systems available at AIP-PRIMECA.
Level:
This training is intended for experienced technicians or general engineers who are willing to discover robotics. The required background covers the following topics:
- Basic knowledge in programming (C/C++ language, …)
- System control theory
- Classical engineering mathematical tools (derivative, matrix algebra, etc.).
