20802143 - Robotics

The course encompasses industrial manipulators and mobile platforms(autonomous vehicles) and provides the basis of the kinematic e dynamic modelling and of the motion control and planning.
At the end of the coursee the student will be able to partecipate to projects involving the design and the use of robots.
