Introduction - Prof. Ashish Dutta

[Music] [Music] hello and welcome to this course on Advanced robotic applications my name is Professor Ashish data and I'm a professor in the department of mechanical engineering at I kpur this course focuses on robotic applications and experimentation but before we move to the experimentation and application part I'll cover the theoretical aspects of Robotics very quickly for example Transformations DH parameters forward inverse kinematics sensors actuators controllers and uh uh the very basics of linear Control Systems after that we'll move on to discuss about microcontrollers how can you use a microcontroller to take sensor input control a DC Sero motor or a stepper motor and then we'll move on to robotics applications for example we have the planer 2 degree of Freedom arm we have a five bar mechanism we have mobile robots how do you control these robots using the microcontroller to do very simple applications like tracing a line drawing a circle and after that we'll move on to more advanced applications like like G bipedal locomotion and we also have well language based programming of the industrial robot like puma and this wi robot so this course uh will consist of lectures every week and we'll have a tutorial every week and at the end we'll have an exam students who take the course can take uh Advanced courses in in future after this for example Advanced robotics robot motion planning etc for industry participants they will get an idea of how to use sensors actuators and controllers to set up very simple automation systems and for teachers they will get an idea of how to conduct Labs how to set up very simple robotics experiments how to conduct Labs so uh I look forward to meeting you in the lab and uh we hope that you'll have a good time in this course thank you
