Introduction:

The course will cover some basic elements within robotics, from the introduction to the role of robotics in the modern society, the history and the state-of-the-art developments in robotics, to some basic concepts in robotics related to the modelling, control and feedback. In addition to lecture classes, the hands-on component would allow students to apply their learnt knowledge to enable robot manipulators to perform some specific tasks.

課程將講述機械人的基本知識,包括其在現今社會的地位,歷史及控制機械人的基本概念。除課堂講解外,透過實驗活動同學更可嘗試操控機械人手臂以完成特定的指令。
