Summary

The goal of this lab series is to practice the various theoretical frameworks acquired in the courses on a variety of robots, ranging from industrial robots to autonomous mobile robots, to robotic devices, all the way to interactive robots.

Content

The practicals can include the following topics:

  • Teaching Robots to Accomplish a Manipulation Task
  • Experimenting with haptic interfaces
  • Controlling a serial robot ABB IRB 120
  • Control of the Micro Delta Direct Drive robot
  • LiniX, linear axis, assembly and control
  • Franka robot, programming by teaching
  • Programming and characterization of a modular fish robot
  • Artificial Muscles
  • ROS basics
  • Integrated barometer/GNSS height determination on a UAV
  • EMG control of a robotic Hand
  • Noise
  • 2DOF Helicopter control
