Aims of the course (objetivos del curso)
In recent years, there has been significant progress in the field of assistive and collaborative robotics. The course covers the modelling and control of robotic arms with vision-based perception, which is an essential aspect of this growing area. This multidisciplinary course covers topics such as robot modelling, movement generation, controlling poly-articulated mechanisms, and processing visual information for autonomous control. The applications hold great social importance, as they are primarily designed to aid individuals with motor disabilities. Furthermore, these technologies have significant professional relevance, providing valuable tools in medical settings or automation within various industries.
The course offers several key capabilities, including modeling poly-articulated systems such as manipulator robots and exoskeletons. Participants will gain insight into designing control systems for these complex mechanisms. Additionally, they will explore vision-based perception within a robotics context and implement visual servoing methods to accomplish various tasks. Lastly, the course covers the numerous applications of robotics in both assistive and industrial settings.
These approaches and objectives are aligned with some of the Sustainable Development Goals, SDG, of the 2030 Agenda (https://www.un.org/sustainabledevelopment/es/) and certain specific goals, in such a way that the acquisition of the Learning outcomes of the subject provides training and competence to the student to contribute to a certain extent to their achievement:
3 - Good Health & Well-Being
9 - Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure
11 - Sustainable Cities and Communities
