Faculty: School of Engineering of Bilbao

Degree: Degree in Industrial Electronic and Automatic Engineering

Compulsory. 3rd year



The students of this subject will have the possibility to study the applications and the control of a robot. In addition to acquiring basic and theoretical knowledge of the subject, they will learn to simulate and program within a robotic environment. This subject is closely related with the 2nd year courses of Automation and Control, Industrial Electronics and, in particular, to Automatic Control that was taught last fall.

Knowledge of principles and applications of robotic systems

Knowledge and ability to model and simulate robotic systems

Ability to analyze and design controls for robotic systems taught last fall

Unit 1: Introduction to industrial robotics.

Unit 2: Morphology of the robot.

Unit 3: Programming and simulation of robots.

Unit 4: Spatial localization.

Unit 5: Geometric and kinematic models.

Unit 6: Dynamic models and control systems for industrial robots.

Lecture: Development of the subject through audio-visual media

Seminar: Practical development of the subject through exercises.

Laboratory: Laboratories will be carried out in order to simulate the acquired knowledge.

• Continuous Assessment System
• Final Assessment System
• Tools and qualification percentages:
  • Written test to be taken (%): 60
  • Realization of Practical Work (exercises, cases or problems) (%): 20
  • Team projects (problem solving, project design)) (%): 20

70% class attendance is compulsory for continuous assessment. Else, a final assessment is automatically considered.

60% Examination (compulsory). The student must have 50% in this exam.

20% Laboratory reports (optional):

They should be delivered the same day of the laboratory.

Reports should be personal.

If no report is delivered its corresponding score in the final grade will be lost.

20% Deliverables (optional):

The students will deliver an electronic portfolio (pdf, ppt, matlab files...) and will perform a public presentation. This work should be proposed individually. It will focus on the control of a given physical system. The system should be as realistic as possible. The controller will be developed and implemented to achieve the requirements of the proposed system.

The presentation of the project will take place in the last weeks of the year. It will consist of a 15 minutes lecture plus 5 minutes for questions and answers.

If no optional task is delivered, its corresponding score will be lost in the final grade.



The student has the right to a 100% Examination evaluation upon request. The request should be addressed to the lecturer up to 4 weeks before the exam, and signed by both the lecturer and the student.



In the event that health conditions prevent face-to-face teaching activity and / or assessment, a non-contact modality will be activated and the students will be duly informed.
