In the current academic year, there is no place to teach classes of any kind.

Learning Results

The Curricular Unit of Industrial Robotics offers students an overview of the themes and technologies involved in robotic systems. Students will verify the understanding of these topics through the simulation and implementation of real systems. At the end of this course unit the student should be able to: Model robots; Program robots; Develop the control of the robot in the robotic simulator; Identify the most suitable robot, security systems and sensors for different applications.

Curricular Unit Teachers

João Paulo Morais Ferreira

Grading Methods

Assessment exclusively by exam or alternatively the practical work carried out, in previous school years, represents 8 values of the final grade, being necessary to obtain a classification equal to or higher than 50%.  The other 12 values result from a written exam, with a minimum score of 40%.

The written exam will include theoretical and practical questions and will last for 2 hours.
