COURSE OVERVIEW

General Objective:

The course is designed to familiarise students with various robotic industrial applications (manipulation, assembly, arc welding, spot welding, packaging, palletizing) and develop skills to simulate robotic industrial solutions.

Specific Objective:

Robot definition, classification, characteristics
Robotic applications in manufacturing, robot safety, and financial justification of robotic installations
Robotic automation and sustainability
Analysis and explanation of the robotic manipulation process
Highlighting the main types of end-effectors
Analysis and explanation of the robotic assembly process
Analysis and explanation of industrial robotic arc welding processes
Analysis and explanation of robotic industrial spot welding processes
Analysis and explanation of robotic industrial palletizing processes
Analysis and explanation of robotic industrial packaging processes
Highlighting common errors in the design of robotic systems
