The student should acquire basic knowledge in modelling and simulation of industrial robots kinematics, dynamics, calibration, programming and application.

After completed this course the students should be able to: (1) Perceive the importance of modelling and simulation of industrial robot kinematics, dynamics, calibration, programming and application. (2) Apply actual methods, techniques and software for industrial robot modelling, simulation and analysis. (3) Estimate and use the results of modelling and simulation in development, design and/or robot application.
