Study Guide

Objectives (course unit)

The students become familiar with the basic design techniques, functioning and programming of the robots. They can also apply their skills in product automation and material handling. 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. Goals for product development (DFA, DFX etc.) and success factors, methods, for creative work, project work, simulation as a design tool, design methods, concept of systematic design.

Content (course unit)

Course consists of lectures and laboratory training, both on simulated environment and at the laboratory. Lectures focus on basic terminology of the robotics and programming principles as well as safety issues. In addition, the viewpoints of cost effective and user-friendly robotization of processes are included.
