Course Description
Robotics, autonomous systems and sensing technologies sit at the heart of the fourth industrial revolution, at the intersection of physical and digital worlds. These technologies underpin self-driving cars, smart cities, autonomous drones, and sensor technology capturing data that will revolutionise and enhance industries. In order to capitalise on the opportunities presented, organisations must develop their technical knowledge and examine exactly how they do, and could do, business.
In this course you will undertake a project that investigates the opportunities and implications of robotics and/or remote sensing in an authentic context. Working with industry partners and mechatronics experts from the College of Science, Engineering and Health, you will identify an opportunity and investigate options for implementation of robotics/remote sensing into a specified business context.
Objectives/Learning Outcomes/Capability Development
-
On successful completion of this course you should be able to:
- Categorise applications of robotics and remote sensing in business contexts.
- Apply creative thinking to solve human and material resource management issues.
- Conduct an evaluative process to assess a business opportunity.
- Create a project proposal based on the identification of an opportunity for implementation of robotics/remote sensing into a specified business context.
- Demonstrate collaborative project skills and deliver a persuasive presentation to articulate project findings.
Overview of Learning Activities
This course is delivered as a blend of face-to-face activities (such as: workshops, lectures and group or industry-based tasks) and online learning. Learning will be focused around the completion of a 12-week project, which will be supported through in-class and online activities. This may include: project development activities; guest speakers/expert commentators; prescribed readings; researching and analysing specific information; solving problems; producing artefacts; proposing solutions; seeking and providing peer feedback; and reflective praxis.
Overview of Learning Resources
Various learning resources are available online through MyRMIT Studies/Canvas. Class activities, recordings, notes and outcomes are posted on Canvas.
Resources are also available online through RMIT Library databases and other facilities. Visit the RMIT library website for further details. Assistance is available online via our chat and email services, face to face at our campus libraries or via the telephone on (03) 9925 2020.
Additional resources and/or sources to assist your learning will be identified by your course coordinator and will be made available to you as required during the teaching period.
