Course detail
The Special Desing and Applications of Mobile Robots
FSI-9KAR Acad. year: 2022/2023 Summer semester
The subject is aimed at PhD students who are focusing on the study, the development, the research, the projection and the construction or the laboratory prototype production of Mobile Robots (MR). There is shown an overview of MR which are currently developing as well as the MR in common use. The overview will refer to the robots on land (walking, jumping, wheeled, tracked and hybrid MR) in the sea and air. There are not left out the MR for exploration of planet surfaces and for using in cosmic space.
