<p>This unit is intended to introduce undergraduate mechanical engineering students to robotics. It will build on the kinematic concepts taught in the second-year theory of machine unit. Students will learn about the kinematic analysis of robot manipulators, particularly in the XY plane.</p><p>Please note that this is not a Matlab unit, but you will use Matlab extensively in this unit.</p>

FedTASK
FedTASK
<p>Federation University recognises that students require key transferable employability skills to prepare them for their future workplace and society. FedTASKs (<strong>T</strong>ransferable <strong>A</strong>ttributes <strong>S</strong>kills and <strong>K</strong>nowledge) provide a targeted focus on five key, transferable Attributes, Skills, and Knowledge that are embedded within curriculum, developed gradually towards successful measures and interlinked with cross-discipline and co-operative learning opportunities.</p>
