This course provides the methodologies and tools for designing robots with serial and parallel configurations as well as other types of configurations of today's robots. Students will learn the method of optimal mechanical design of today's robots. Common mechanisms such as series and parallel mechanisms, especially combined mechanisms. Mechanical efficiency analysis in mechanical systems considers mechanical resistance (friction) and efficiency limitations of steering systems and actuators. Drive system in robot, required motor power characteristics when considering robot system design, mechanical efficiency and its working condition, design process using materials science (selection of materials with material strength analysis) and including automatic movement system, actuator, power supply.
