Prerequisites
250 credit pointsAims and objectives
This unit of study aims to have you develop the ability to combine various elements of robotic automation to create systems that improve manufacturing productivity.
Unit Learning Outcomes (ULO)
Students who successfully complete this unit will be able to:
1. Appraise industrial robot applications based on basic characteristics of robots and in the context of manufacturing environments. (K3, K4, K5, S1)
2. Design robot systems within specified constraints for manufacturing applications that satisfy requirements in terms of productivity, flexibility and sustainability. (K3, K5, K6, S1, S2, S3, A1, A2, A4, A5, A6, A7)
3. Analyse and simulate the motion of an articulated robot arm. (K1, K2, K3, S1, S3)
4. Execute the programming of the motion of a robot that combines various elements of automation. (K1, K2, K3, S1, S2, S3, A7)
5. Analyse fluid power systems relating to industrial robot systems and custom-built manufacturing automation. (K1, K3, S1, S2)
