Università Roma Tre

The course aims to provide students with up-to-date and innovative skills, abilities and professionalism in the area of functional mechanical design and dynamic simulation of mechanical systems and robots, which will be used in product development and service applications and plant development. In this regard, mechanical systems for industrial, service, automation and automotive applications will first be explained through the study of their kinematic structure and function. Innovative mechanism design methods will then be discussed, in particular, for industrial automation, human centered applications and automotive, proposing, among others, kinematic synthesis methods for infinitesimal and finite motions, function-generating mechanisms, rigid body guidance and trajectory generator. Tribological implications will also be considered. Next, the dynamic simulation of multibody systems in space and vehicle dynamics will be modeled in SE(3). Mechanical design and dynamic simulation will be applied to the following topics: industrial robotics for automation and service; micro and nano (MEMS and NEMS) systems; navigation systems based on inertial sensors; wearable systems; powertrains, planetary gearboxes, automatic transmissions, differential, cam systems, clutches, special mechanisms.
