Robotics for Electronic Engineering (ELEC0140)

The course provides a general understanding of the theory of robotic manipulator, and how robots are used in conjunction with external devices such as camera to perform automation tasks.

Students will develop skills in the analysis of articulated robotic arm as well as the synthesis of complete robotic systems.

The course will specifically:
• Develop mathematical skills for analysis and synthesis of robotic manipulators;
• Develop skills in selection of different robots and systems for various automation tasks;
• Provide knowledge of future trends in robotics and industrial automation.

Upon successful completion of this course, you should be able to:
• Understand the theory of robotic manipulators for analysis and synthesis of armed robots;
• Develop creative solutions to robotics and automation problems;
• Simulate the motion of articulated robots;
• Control the robot arms to follow a prescribed trajectory;
• Understand how robots identify objects and determine the object positions using cameras;
• Program an actual robotic manipulator using state-of-the-art software.

The content / syllabus of the module includes spatial transformations and descriptions, robot kinematics, robot dynamics, machine vision, trajectory planning, control of robots, robot work-cell design and robot programming.

Electrical Transport in Nanosystems (ELEC0124)

This course explores electrical transport in devices whose nanoscale dimensions play a key role in dictating their functionality.

It focuses on the physical principles underpinning their operation, as well as details of their application.

The course is divided into three parts (taught by different lecturers), each dedicated to a distinct class of devices: electronic, spintronic and superconducting devices. The first part focuses on magnetism in thin films and spintronics; the second focuses on Josephson junctions; the third focuses on transport in low-dimensional systems such as nanoscale FETs, 2DEGs and nanomaterials
