Ovaj odjel zanima se za teme iz područja teorije i primjene robotike i automatizacije. Pod robotikom se ovdje prvenstveno podrazumijeva zanimanje za inteligentne strojeve i sustave korištene, na primjer, u istraživanju okoliša (podmorja, svemira), pružanju usluga ljudima, ili u naprednoj proizvodnji. Pod automatizacijom se prvenstveno podrazumijeva zanimanje za primjenu automatizacijskih metoda i postupaka u tvornicama, uredima, kućanstvima ili, na primjer, u transportnim sustavima s ciljem povećanja njihove djelotvornosti i produktivnosti.
Odjel za robotiku i automatizaciju
Hrvatska sekcija IEEE i Odjel za robotiku i automatizaciju pozivaju vas na predavanje:
"Team DRC-Hubo: International Collaboration using a Three Phase Design Cycle”
koje će Prof. Daniel Lofaro s Electrical and Computer Engineering Department & Lofaro Labs, George Mason University, SAD, održati u petak 3.10.2014. na Sveučilištu u Zagrebu, Fakultet elektrotehnike i računarstva, Unska 3, Zagreb, u Sivoj vijećnici s početkom u 12:00h.
Sažetak predavanja i kratki životopis predavača nalaze se u nastavku vijesti.
Sažetak:
Prof. Lofaro will show the evolution of the Hubo Humanoid Robot from a research platform to a DARPA Robot Challenge (DRC) ready system via the use of a Three Phase Design Cycle. Benefits and challenges of working with multiple research groups, and the impact it has on becoming a competitive DRC team will be discussed. Finally recommendations for software and social methods to be used when working with medium size research groups will be given.
