MEI-56406 Collaborative Robotics, 5 cr
Person responsible
Minna Lanz, Jyrki Latokartano
Learning Outcomes
After completing the course the participants know the principles of human-robot collaboration (HRC) solutions in different areas of industrial and services, and their technology maturity levels. Legistlation and relevant standard defining the basis for HRC will be introduced. Understanding will be deepened in personal study where relevant standards will be applied. Participants will have ability to conceptualise collaborative robotics enabled by modern technologies, including their business aspects.
