Robot Analysis: The Mechanics of Serial and Parallel Manipulators
Students must apply academic integrity in their learning and research activities at UC. This includes submitting authentic and original work for assessments and properly acknowledging any sources used.
Academic integrity involves the ethical, honest and responsible use, creation and sharing of information. It is critical to the quality of higher education. Our academic integrity values are honesty, trust, fairness, respect, responsibility and courage.
UC students have to complete the Academic Integrity Module annually to learn about academic integrity and to understand the consequences of academic integrity breaches (or academic misconduct).
UC uses various strategies and systems, including detection software, to identify potential breaches of academic integrity. Suspected breaches may be investigated, and action can be taken when misconduct is found to have occurred.
Information is provided in the Academic Integrity Policy, Academic Integrity Procedure, and University of Canberra (Student Conduct) Rules 2023. For further advice, visit Study Skills.
Learner engagement
Suggested average student workload:
Lectures (2h lecture + 0.5h preparation) 12h x 2h + 6h = 30h
Laboratories (2h lab + 3h preparation) 11h x 2h + 33h = 55h
Laboratory Assignments (Part 1 + Part 2 ) 15h + 20h = 35h
Quiz 1 (incl. preparation) = 05h
Quiz 2 (incl. preparation) = 25h
Total: 150 Hours
Participation requirements
Student participation in lectures, tutorials, laboratories, and online activities will enhance the student's understanding of the unit content and therefore the quality of assessment responses. Lack of participation may result in the student's inability to satisfactorily pass assessment items. Attendace in all lab sessions from Week#2 until Week#13 is mandatory for this unit.
Required IT skills
Microsoft Office.
Work placement, internships or practicums
None.
