Learning outcomes

To learn how to model and control the kinematics of robot manipulators, as well as the modelling and control of the dynamics of robot manipulators. To understand the structure and components of Programmable Automation Controllers (PAC), to learn how to select and configure those components, and to program the controllers. To understand the topologies and protocols involved in industrial networks, and to be able to deploy multiple PACs in a networked factory automation system.
