Objectives
To give the student the required skills in applying modern 3D-design, simulation and off-line programming tools in robot cell design.

Contents
Content Core content Complementary knowledge Specialist knowledge
1. To learn to design effective robot workcells to perform specified task based on the knowledge gained in prerequisite courses.  To be able to perform comparison between different workcell alternatives. Requires deeper understanding in performance values of different robot types and sizes.  To be able to perform measures and analysis in workcell performance and to optimize it. 
2. Student gets acquainted with modern 3-D simulation tools and learns to use them effectively in robot cell design and simulation.  Simulation tools are used to verify workcell performance by using different settings and basig data.  When operator presence is required, human manikin simulation can also be implemented. 
3. Workcell functionality is demonstrated and tested by comprehensive robot programming to perform complete workcell sequence and to simulate selected processes.  Workcell performance is increased by optimisation of robot programs based on simulation data and process analysis.  In some assignments robot programs can also be downloaded to real life workcell. In this case assignment includes also calibration of the workcell model. 
4. Groups get familiar with concurrent engineering in real life industrial development assignment.  Students learn project management while interacting with customers and within own project group.  Project management platforms can be used to optimize resource allocation and schedueling. 

Requirements for completing the course
Student need to complete extensive group projectwork based on real life robotising case defined by selected industrial partners.

Assessment criteria
Course assesment is based entirely on projectwork. Grading is based on project simulation model, project report and seminar presentations.
