Robotics and Automation

This course is predominantly for students taking TPK4560 - Robotics and Automation, Specialization Project. It covers

• Industrial robotics with a focus on applications within production.
• This includes kinematics and programming of industrial robots, robotic welding, robotic assembly, and other industrial applications. Computer vision for use in robotic systems is an important area.
• Industrial computer systems for the implementation of robotic manufacturing systems, Industry 4.0, subsea control systems, and mechatronics.
• Automation for offshore applications with a focus on top-side automation for drilling platforms and control systems for subsea production systems for oil and gas.

Knowledge:

The student will learn about

• Advanced robotics, including
  • SLAM
  • ROVs
• MPC
• Kalman-filter
• Computer vision and machine learning
• Process control
• Electrical actuators and hydraulics
• Industrial mechatronics

Skills:

Develop and implement robotic systems, included programming and implementation of computer systems, sensor systems, and computer vision. Offline programming of robotic systems. Modeling, simulation, and design of control systems for offshore applications.

Generell competence:

Competence in computer systems and robotic systems in production and automation systems for offshore applications.

Lectures, mandatory assignments. The course will be held in English when students who do not speak Norwegian take the course.
