In this micro-credential, you will gain the foundational knowledge necessary for advancing robot applications. First, you will delve into theoretical concepts such as the kinematics and dynamics of robots. Besides that, you will also learn about control aspects of serial robots, spanning motion and impedance control, trajectory generation, and strategies for kinematically redundant robots.
Moreover, through a series of introductory lectures delivered by field experts, you will explore technical concepts and applications increasingly significant in contemporary robotics. Emphasizing critical thinking and awareness of non-technical facets in robotics, the program simultaneously prepares you for leadership roles within the industry.
Beyond providing a theoretical framework, the program includes training in executing and managing real-world robot programming projects using the Robotic Operating System (ROS). This hands-on experience enables you to integrate new concepts and make effective decisions in actual robotic environments.
This program offers a unique opportunity to expand your expertise and prepare for the rapidly evolving world of modern robotics.
The topics covered in Robotics II are independent of the theoretical content in Robotics I. Therefore, both courses can be taken within the same academic year.
The courses in the program account for a total of 9 ECTS credits. One ECTS credit corresponds to approximately 25 to 30 hours of study, including attending lectures, working on projects, and independent study.
The program spans across one academic year, with one course scheduled in each semester.
An academic bachelor's degree in engineering sciences
Basic knowledge of robotics
A strong interest in the field
This program takes place at the VUB Main Campus in Etterbeek.
This program is taught in English.
This micro-credential is exclusively offered in daytime classes.
Micro-credentials
Micro-credentials zijn kortdurende opleidingen met enkele vakken, uitgedrukt in studiepunten (ECTS-credits). Wil je nieuwe, aanvullende competenties verwerven? Ben je op zoek naar actualisatie? Heb je nood aan een bijkomende vorming? Dan zijn deze kortdurende opleidingen misschien wel iets voor jou.
In het kader van Levenslang Leren behoren deze micro-credentials vanaf het academiejaar 2021-2022 tot het studieaanbod. Je kan ze volgen in het 1ste of het 2de semester, in het Nederlands of Engels (naargelang het specifieke aanbod). Na het behalen van de micro-credential ontvang je een getuigschrift.
