IN5590 – Rapid Prototyping of Robotic Systems
Course description
Course content
IN5590 provides an introduction to computer aided design (CAD) and rapid prototyping (3D printing). 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 documenting 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) and rapid prototyping (3D printing);
- 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;
- 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:
- PhD-students belonging to ROBIN, AUTOSENS, NANO, and RITMO with the course in their approved study plan
- Students in the study program Informatics: Robotics and Intelligent Systems (Master) with the course in their approved study plan
- Students in the study program Informatics: Robotics and Intelligent Systems (Master)

Overlapping courses
- 8 credits overlap with INF4500 – Rapid prototyping of robotic systems (continued).
- 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)

Resit an examination
In this course, postponed exams are not offered for exam candidates who are ill before the exam or who become ill during the exam. A deferred submission deadline may be offered. Deadlines may be extended up to 7 days; the duration of the extension depends on the duration of the exam.?The illness must be documented with a doctor's certificate dated no later than the ordinary submission date. You must submit the doctor's certificate to the Student Administration at IFI before the submission deadline for the home exam.
