Objectives
Objectives
The course aims to study the multidisciplinary field of robotics, specifically focusing on the set of subjects that contribute to the realization of a robotic production cell. Students are expected to: a) Acquire knowledge about manipulation robotics, offline programming, remote control and monitoring using networks, the composition of robotic cells, offline simulation, etc.; b) Gain expertise in constructing, programming, and optimizing mobile robotics models that enable the autonomous performance of specific activities. Students should be able to actively engage in this area by generating solutions and addressing both technical and design aspects. The course includes a series of practical assignments, allowing students to apply some of the techniques discussed. Students should acquire the knowledge and skills necessary to construct, develop, and program robotic models (mobile or stationary) that can be used to solve various problems.

Teaching methodologies and assessment
Teaching methodologies and assessment
The course has a strong laboratory component (LC), where models for the activities will be developed. The laboratory component is essential, and approval of the course is not possible without completing all phases of the LC. For the final project, each group must prepare a 10- to 15-page paper with an oral presentation (15-20 min) using PowerPoint or similar. The assessment will include a theoretical component (written exam) (30%), intermediate projects and report (30%), a final project with report and presentation (30%), and quality of participation (10%), where performance and attendance are decisive. The intermediate projects aim to develop the necessary capabilities for integrating sensors and actuators into the Arduino. The final project aims to develop the mechanical design capabilities for robots, connected to the Arduino board's programming component.
