Students use a computer-controlled robot to design an automated work-cell.
The advantages and limitations of robots will be explored as students progress to design their own control programs using a robotic system simulator that can be connected to the real hardware.
Training Concepts:
- Manual Control of a Robot
- Flowcharts and Programs
- Sensing, Decisions and Counting
- Open and Closed Loop Control
- Transportation Around the Work-cell
- Manipulating Parts
- Industrial Robots
- Computer Integrated Manufacturing
- Pre-programmed Sequences
- Problem Solving
Activities Include:
- Manually control a robot.
- Use a flowchart to write a computer program in BASIC.
- Use the input from a sensor with the IF command in a BASIC program.
- Identify the purpose of belt drives.
- Write programs for open and closed loop control systems.
- Identify different types of sensors used in the work-cell.
- Identify economic and practical reasons why robots are used in industry.
- Write a program to control a robot using inputs from a keyboard.
- Identify how Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) can be incorporated into manufacturing systems.
