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

Content

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.

Remarks

Projectwork cases can also be suggested by the student to fit his/hers ows study program.

Distance learning

- In information distribution via homepage, newsgroups or mailing lists, e.g. current issues, timetables
- In compiling teaching material, particularly for online use or other electronic media
- In compiling exercise, group or laboratory work
- In distributing and/or returning exercise work, material etc
- In the visualization of objects and phenomena, e.g. animations, demonstrations, simulations, video clips
- Other: All assignment data is saved in course intranet.
- The course utilizes a learning platform, which? To be confirmed later.

- Contact teaching: 15 %
- Distance learning: 5 %
- Proportion of a student's independent study: 80 %

Course exercises and three assignment monitoring seminars are compulsory
