The module offers students timely and updated coverage

of a wide range of topics relevant to common industrial
practice and motion control, smart sensor and
instrumentation tapping on the latest and diverse range of
developments in the repertoire of the control group and
collaborating companies and institution, such as the
delivery of a measured collation of case studies of
industrial motion control and smart sensor and
instrumentation applied to real problems of a diverse
nature and which are not easily and directly available from
standard literature. The nature of the module allows the
flexibility for recent topics, problems and solutions to be
shared with the students.

This module aims to offer a systematic description of the
dynamics and control of robot manipulators. After the
introduction of Lagrangian and Newtonian approach for
the dynaimci modelling of robot manipulators, their
properties of the robot dynamics are studied. The students
will learn how to correctly establish the dynamic model of
the robot manipulators and understand the dynamic
characteristics. In the control part, the students will learn
many commonly used control algorithms for the robot
manipulators, such as computed-torque control, robust
control and adaptive control methods. More importantly,
some key technologies about the emerging robot human
and enviornment interactions, e.g., force and impedance
control algorithms will also be introduced to the students
in the control part. In general, this module will provide the
students with a relatively complete view of the dynamics
and control of robot manipulators, and facilitates the
implementations of the further industrial applications and
research work.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is set to disrupt practically
every industry imaginable, and industrial robotics is no
different. The powerful combination of robotics and AI or
machine learning is opening the door to entirely new
automation possibilities.Currently, artificial intelligence
and machine learning are being applied in limited ways
and enhancing the capabilities of industrial robotic
systems. This module focuses on the areas of robotic
processes that AI and machine learning are impacting to
make current applications more efficient and profitable.
The aim of the course is for students to develop an in-
depth understanding of the fundamentals of robotics at an
advanced level. It is targeted towards graduate students
interested in robotics research and development. The focus
is on in-depth treatments and wider coverage of advanced
topics on (a) kinematics, (b) trajectory planning, (c)
dynamics, and (d) control system design. At the end of this
course, the student should have a good understanding of
all the related topics of advanced robotics, and be able to
derive the kinematics and dynamics of a given robot, plan
appropriate path, and design advanced control systems.
This course introduces machine vision devices and
techniques in image processing and pattern recognition. It
also discusses the integration of the above to form a
cohesive machine vision system. Students will learn how
machine vision systems in robotics and medical
applications are designed and implementation. This course
is based on a basic knowledge of geometry and linear
algebra, and does not require previous knowledge in
machine vision. The accent is more on global
understanding than on mathematical derivations. The main
topics that will be treated are: vision hardware, visual
perception, optical properties, image transforms, image
enhancement, segmentation, encoding, representations,
and applications.
