Industrial Robotics
Description
This module will provide students with knowledge of robotic automation systems, including the use of vision systems in robotic applications. Students will learn how to integrate components in a robotic cell and program the cell using the teach-pendant. A 3D modelling software will be used for programming, optimisation and virtual commissioning of robotic cells. Finally, the module will cover cost and safety considerations when the automation of a manual operation is proposed.
Learning Outcomes
Investigate the industrial uses, feasibility and cost-effectiveness of robotic systems.
Use a teach-pendant or a 3D model of a robotic cell for programming, optimisation and commissioning.
Use vision systems for robotic industrial applications.
Investigate and apply safety standards relating to a robotic arm application.
