IN5590 – Rapid Prototyping of Robotic Systems
Course description
Course content
IN5590 provides an introduction to computer aided design (CAD), rapid prototyping (3D printing) and computer numerical control (CNC/CAM) of milling machines. The student will apply this knowledge to design, simulate, build and program a robotic/mechatronic system. A central part of the course is to carry out experiments and writing an essay/article describing the robotic system that the student has created.
Learning outcome
After completing this course you:
- will have knowledge of, and be able to use, computer aided design (CAD), rapid prototyping (3D printing) and computer numerical control (CNC/CAM) to control milling machines;
- will have experience with, and be able to design, simulate, build and program a robotic/mechatronic system;
- are able to design and conduct experiments on a robotic system and documenting and discussing your work and choice of methods by writing an essay/article;
- will have knowledge of safety issues in rapid prototyping techniques, how they may be dealt with, and the related Norwegian legislation;
Admission to the course
The maximum number of students in this course will be 12 due to lab facility limitations.
Ranking rules:

- 5 credits overlap with INF5207 – Advanced Specialization in Design of Information Systems (continued).
Teaching
2 hours of lectures and 2 hours of supervised practical project work per week.
Mandatory attendance at the first lecture. Due to the significant amount of group exercises and in-class activities in this course, 80% attendance of the lectures is mandatory.
Examination
The course is project/essay based. All projects and the essay must be approved to get a pass grade.
It will also be counted as one of?your three?attempts to sit the exam for this course, if you sit the exam for one of the following courses:?INF4500 - Rapid prototyping of robotic systems (continued)
