Objectives
  
Demystification of industrial robots. 
At the end of the course the student should be able to understand the 
possibilities and limitations for the implementation of industrial robots in 
automated production processes. 
 
  
Topics
  
The industrial robot: basic configurations, kinematics and dynamics, 
Denavit-Hartenberg conversion between robot coordinates and general 
coordinates. 
The harmonic drive reductor. Grippers. 
Programming of industrial robots: on-line, off-line, hybrid 
Electric drives: DC-motors, AC-motors, Stepper motor (dynamic 
characteristic)
