Beschrijving

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.

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.

Inschrijven voor deze opleiding doe je via permanente vorming
