Robot Operating Systems Essentials

About

Dive into the fascinating world of robotics with our Summer School program, where you'll embark on a hands-on journey to build and control your very own delta robot. This course offers a comprehensive exploration of delta robot kinematics, assembly, and control mechanisms, including an introduction to the Robot Operating System (ROS), a crucial tool in modern robotics. From the fundamentals of robot construction to advanced control using both Arduino and ROS, you'll learn through practical, project-based sessions that culminate in a live demonstration of your robot. This unique program combines theoretical knowledge with real-world applications, empowering you to design, program, and implement a delta robot that responds to your commands.

Course leader

We make sure that you get the most out of our network. For our program "Robot Operating Systems Essentials", we are cooperating with our longstanding partner Universal Robots one of the leading suppliers on the global market for industrial robots.

Target group

Every year we welcome students from all over the world. You can become part of our international student community if you:

- are at least 18 years old
- in your Bachelor's, Master's, in between or recently graduated
- are proficient in the English language

Desirable is basic knowledge in technical mechanics, automation technology, robotics, mechatronics or computer science, programming skills (C++ and/or Java) or interest in logic-based programming. Linux skills are beneficial.

No English certificate is required. Our courses are all in English and therefore a proficient knowledge of English is important.

Course aim

- Understand delta robot kinematics and control principles
- Learn the delta robot building process, including material and component selection
- Program the delta robot using Arduino for task execution
