The course aims to develop students' ability for the implementation of intelligent robotic systems using the conceptual design and robot evolvability, in accordance with the basic paradigms of artificial intelligence. Students will acquire knowledge and skills necessary for further development of production technologies within Industry 4.0 by learning the robotic system structure based on a methodological approach, which includes robot mechanics, sensor and actuator subsystems, control, and robot movement optimization, as well as hardware-software integration. It is done by using the laboratory equipment, such as different industrial robot structures, re-configurable mobile robots with various sensors, and an embedded laboratory model of the manufacturing system in accordance with the implementation of 3D computer simulation for Industry 4.0 development.

After the course, students will be able to: - Implement developed software tools for modelling and analysis of intelligent robotic systems; - Choose the advanced methods based on artificial neural networks (by using the Matlab and BPnet software) and other computational intelligence techniques to carry out the intelligent behaviour of the mobile robot in interaction with the manufacturing environment; - Understand the interaction between the software and hardware subsystems of the intelligent mobile robot structure through robotic reconfiguration and programming in the MATLAB environment; - Develop the ability for teamwork.
