The scrum methodology is introduced to the students. Then, they apply this agile framework during the whole duration of the project.
Each group of students receives a project of robotic application. They state the problem before designing the robotic system that corresponds to the specifications. Then, they build their system and test it extensively.
Finally, each group presents their work and write a report describing the technical and managerial aspects of the project.

Choice of topic: Students select a project topic in agreement with their supervisor. The topic can be technical (such as developing an application, data analysis, etc.).

Implementation: Execution of the project according to the established plan, with possible adjustments based on needs and unforeseen circumstances.

Write-up: Compilation of results, analysis, and conclusions into a written document.

Preparation for the defense: Preparation of a structured and convincing oral presentation.

This course covers the basic characteristics of DC and AC motors and describe their principle of operation and control within a power electronic environment. Basics in power electronics, electric machines and control circuits are reviewed and the overall systems is studied. Control techniques for DC drives are underlined and the four-quadrant operation is analysed. Control strategies for AC drives are discussed as well, mainly the scalar control, the field oriented control and the direct torque control. Detailed modelling of the control of induction motors using the FOC method is carried out.
