Type Seminar with practical tutorials
Credits 5 CP
Offered every summer semester

This module is aiming at teaching students

  • Installation and exploration of technical systems (e.g. robotics, prosthetics) including the comparison to biological motion data
  • Control theory and its implementation in robotic systems
  • Optimization methods and redesign of hardware systems (additional joints, degrees of freedom).

Examples of robotic and prosthetic systems

Jan Schäfer, Mario Mally:

Hopping robot

In Research the locomotion types of humans and different kinds of animals are often analyzed and built into a robot to understand ourselves and our environment better. The jump onto a target is one of these locomotion types, which is employed by research at the moment. We were inspired by the “Salto”-robot that saves energy of his jump to do a second jump of an obstacle. To summarize our project, we approach the jump by building a jumping robot and to control the jump. We are testing different angle and force combinations and different center of gravity positions.
