Laboratory of robotics in year 2011 participated in organization of educational events for different target groups. Students of Robotics module in cooperation with industrial partners organized the event Days of industrial robotics which was intended for other students, who are not familiar with the field of robotics. They organized expert’ lectures, excursion and practical exercises, where participants were developing robotic applications on state-of-the-art robots. For participants from primary and secondary schools we organized summer camp Robotics and Measurements, which acquainted with the robotics by means of practical examples. We also participated in organization of event Days of Electrical Engineering in Technical museum Bistra by two demonstrational robot cells.

COBISS.SI-ID: 8483156Book Introduction to robotics deals with the pose (position and orientation) of object in space and geometric models of mechanisms. The focus is on robotic mechanisms. However, presented methods can also be applied in the fields of computer graphics, mechanical engineering, aeronautics and elsewhere. The book is suitable as a study material in various fields of engineering, where it is necessary to describe the relative pose and motion of objects in real or computer-generated environments. The book is a result of 15 years of lectures at the university level in electrical engineering. Book Robot Control deals with control algorithms for robot pose control, control of interaction forces in contact with the robot environment and with control methods for visual servoing. The majority of robots in industrial environments usually rely on pose control, because the environment is structured. In non-structured environment or in the case of a physical interaction with the environment or with humans, it is necessary to use more sophisticated sensors (force sensors, computer vision) and specific control approaches. Use of robots in the fields of medicine, service robotics, traffic and for safety applications requires more complex control algorithms. Book Robot Control presents basic control concepts required for execution of such complex tasks.
