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
Discuss robotics technology and anatomy.
Use a 3D model of a robotic cell for programming, optimisation and virtual commissioning.
Use a teach-pendant to programme a robotic cell.
Use vision systems for robotic industrial applications.
Discuss the industrial uses, feasibility and cost-effectiveness of robotic systems.
Integrate hardware components (PLC, sensors, end-effectors, vision systems) with a robotic system.
Discuss safety standards relating to robotic arms.
