Objectives:

Competences specific for the subject

Acquiring of the knowledge regarding the realising of control systems for robots, especially for industrial robots (IR), with the stages this implies: obtaining the robot's model, planning the robot's movement, realising the control scheme and algorithm using the available model and programming the robot's activities. 1. Knowledge and understanding: Knowledge of the evolution and development of robot control systems Knowledge of the component elements of robot control systems Knowledge of the functioning principles and emphasising of the subsystems of the robot control systems Knowledge of the types and constructive variants. 2. Explaining and interpreting: Explaining and interpreting of the manner of obtaining the robot's model Explaining of the means for realise the scheme, algorithm for controlling and programming robots Capability to explain and operate with the terms specific for robot control systems 3. Instrumental applicative Knowledge of the methods for controlling robots Developing the engineering ability to use the robot control systems

4. Attitudinal: Promoting the attitudinal and aptitudinal qualities specific for the engineering profession; Showing positive and responsible attitudes towards the technical domain; Optimal and creative valorisation of the own potential in goods production activities; Development of the interest for the engineering profession and for the technical training.

Methods for teaching / seminarisation

The procedure during the teaching of the course is classical lecturing, aided by the usage of modern means for image displaying, while among the methods employed there can be mentioned the problematisation, learning through discovery and case study. Concerning the techniques used during the teaching activities, they are: the synthetic presentation, explanations, proving by schemes, graphs etc. The laboratory activities are based on experimentation, using the experiment as method, as well as heuristic methods. answers at the exam/colloquium (final assessment) tests during the semester final answers at the practical laboratory tasks activities such as homeworks/papers/projects etc. control tests other activities TOTAL 50% 15% 20% 15% 100%

Determining of the final grade (percentages)

Describe the practical means for final assessment, E/V (for example: written test (descriptive and/or grid-type test and/or problems etc.), oral examination, individual or group colloquium, project etc.) The final assessment will be done as a written test. Minimal requirements for grade 5 Requirements for grade 10 Mandatory attendance at and execution of all Mandatory attendance at and execution of laboratory activities, with a presentation at the all laboratory activities, with a presentation at semester's end the semester's end, with a maximal grade Tackling and solving at the level of grade 5 of granted during these activities and for the all subjects from partial tests and from the final contents of the presentation. exam. Tackling and solving at the level of the maximal grade of all subjects from partial tests and from the final exam. TOTAL number of hours of individual study (per semester) = 89
