Annotation Acquisition of study course provides a comprehension about composition of electric robots, their history and classification. The construction knowledge of electric drive robot system, control methods and electromechanical characteristics provides with a possibility to develop, produce and exploit direct current and alternating current electrical drive in different steady state robotized appliances, as well as in mobile robots. Robot direct current and alternating current electric drive systems are analysed together with power electronics converters, as well as parameter influence on electric drive system operation is diagnosed. A comprehension is developed about robot electrical drive motor dynamics and their choice. A comprehension is also developed about electrical drive control method formation and their usage in free-standing and steady state robots. .

Goals and objectives
of the course in terms
of competences and skills
The aim of the study course is to introduce students with the mechanics of robot electric drive system and electro mechanics; also, the aim is to introduce students with parameter influence on robot electric drive characteristics, introduce them with speed control methods, with control methods, with transition process calculations and the choice of motor. The objectives of the study course is to develop such student skills: to calculate robot electric drive elements; to choose rational power electronic converter for different direct current and alternating current motor for robot production and in free-standing robots; to calculate transition process influence on electric drive operation and to evaluate their energy efficiency; to describe and analyse robot electrical drive systems; to choose robot electrical drive speed regulation scheme and to calculate scheme elements; to calculate transition process influence on robot electrical drive operation.
