Course detail
The Special Desing and Applications of Mobile Robots
FSI-9KAR Acad. year: 2025/2026 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.

Entry knowledge
Candidates should be familiarized with the problems of the construction of MR at engineering level.
Rules for evaluation and completion of the course
There is necessary to work out an assigned semestral project and defend the work in an oral examination.
It is recommended both the attendance at lectures and the self-study of available literature and magazine and internet sources, as well as consultations with the lecturer. Change in covid-19 containments reserved.
Aims
The aim of the subject is to inform about the general information from the scientific discipline called robotics and the presentation of practical results of the projection, the construction, the production and the experimental operations of MR, especially at BUT FME (Brno).
The acquired knowledge and the skills can be drawn on for the solution of the current demands for highly-purpose automation means which are the Mobile Robots in general.
