Learning outcomes of the course unit
Students will learn to use advanced parts of differential geometry and representation theory. For a specific mechanism: the construction of kinematic chain, the solution of differential kinematics, design of optimal trajectory.
Prerequisites
The knowledge of mathematics gained within the bachelor's study programme.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes
The course is finished by written and oral examination. The written part is 80% and the oral part 20% of the grade.
Aims
Building the basics of geometric control theory. Ability to apply theory to engineering problems.
Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences
