Description

Robots are no longer science fiction, they’re here and they’re becoming more and more advanced. Get to know our new colleagues, companions, and co-inhabitants with an exploration that goes beyond the metal. The Introduction to Robotics Diploma Course takes an in-depth look into this multidisciplinary field of expertise – exploring each of the fundamental aspects of robotics: mechanical engineering, electrical engineering and computer science.

The course opens with an introduction to the subject and an explanation of the various classifications of robots. It is then split up into the three aforementioned fields of expertise.

First, we’ll explore mechanical engineering for robotics, as we examine kinematics, dynamics, and trajectory planning, including the following subtopics: position and orientation from a geometrical point of view, direct kinematics, inverse kinematics, differential kinematics and inverse differential kinematics.

Next, we’ll explore the field of electrical engineering. Here we’ll learn about the state-of-the-art actuators and sensors used in robotics, the systems they are used in, and how these parts are integrated into these systems.

The final part of the course looks at computer science and, more specifically, search methods. We’ll examine how search algorithms map a robot’s environment and how they provide the shortest path between two points.

By studying this course, you will:

  • Explore the multidisciplinary field of robotics
  • Understand the role of mechanical engineering in robotics
  • Learn how actuators and sensors are integrated into robotic systems
  • Be aware of how search algorithms help robots navigate environments

Who is this course for?

If you are interested in robotics, as a hobbyist or to go into professionally, this course will give you a taster of what’s involved and an insight into the three fields of expertise that are essential to the subject.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
