Abstract

This paper is aimed at describing the authors experience on developing a practical robotic course for students of the last year of Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering at Politecnico di Milano. The course is born from the will to satisfy the request of a course where students are able to put into practice all concepts acquired during theoretical lessons. The aim of the course is to design a 3-DoF robot with a given architecture. The subject is intrinsically interdisciplinary, so students, organized in groups, are require to focus their attention on different aspects related to the design of a robotic device, from the modeling of structural components using CAD programs, to the dynamic analyses of the system and to the development of the control software.
