Study Guide

Objectives

The students become familiar with the basic design techniques, functioning and programming of the robots. Studens can evaluate te potentials of robotization in different application areas, as well as analyze both profits and the costs of robotization of tasks. After the course the students have a capability to program robots and to do programming applications. They can accomplish the most common tasks in material handling and welding, and they understand the role of sustainable development and digitalization at the area of robotics.

Content

Course consists of lectures and laboratory training, both on simulated environment and at the laboratory. Also, student's independent work and studying are essential parts of the cource, as well as group activities in different forms. Lectures focus on basic terminology of the robotics and programming principles as well as safety issues. Laboratory activities bring practical viewpoints to the theoretic backgrounds. In addition, the viewpoints of cost effective and user-friendly robotization of processes are included.

Assessment criteria, satisfactory (1-2)

Student recognises basic terminology of robotics, and recognises potential robotic use cases independently. Student is able to program a robot as supported or as a part of a group.

Assessment criteria, good (3-4)

Student is able to utilize basic terminology and applications of robotics , and recognises potential robotic use cases independently. Student is able to independently design basic robotic workflows and create simple programs from scratch.

Assessment criteria, excellent (5)

Student forms a holistic overview around the topic, is able to analyze and seek optinal solutions, as well as acts reactively in group. Student is able to independently design also the supportive workflows for the robotic process and can create application-specific and effective programs.
