Goals and objectives
of the course in terms
of competences and skills 		The goal of the course is: - to get acquainted with SEMRS’s nomenclature, construction and operational peculiarity, parameters; - to learn the ways of using the SEMRS in electric drive for robotics and control systems; - to learn how to use different SEMRS circuits, regulation and control technique. The objectives of the course are: - to get a good knowledge of SEMRS usage in different sectors of robotics; - to be able to perform the necessary measurements for determining of SEMRS’s parameters and to draw up the connection scheme; - to be able to choose a correct SEMRS for performing necessary function.
Learning outcomes
