Course detail
Robotics Workcells Designing and Programming
FSI-GNP Acad. year: 2018/2019 Summer semester
The course makes students familiar with the basics of designing robotic cells for various applications of technology. Major emphasis is placed on the overall workplace layout of main elements (2D / 3D layout), selection of appropriate sensors for a given application and taking into account the workplace safety with respect to current legal requirements and international standards. Furthermore, students learn about currently available options for programming of industrial robots, where the main emphasis is put on KUKA robots (KRL language, KUKA). The acquired knowledge will nevertheless be generally useful regardless of a robot manufacturer.

Learning outcomes of the course unit
Students will gain a comprehensive overview of the possibilities and requirements for the design of robotic cells. Based on the experience gained will be able to work independently in designing workplaces for typical applications in industry (handling, palletizing, welding, machining, etc.). Students also gain a comprehensive and practically oriented overview of programming of industrial robots. Based on the experience gained will be able to work independently in the field of programming robots for typical applications in industry (particularly in handling, palletizing, or CAD / CAM robotic machining).
Prerequisites
Successful completion of the subject Industrial Robots and Manipulators I (GPZ) and a basic knowledge of programming (language C, C ++, C #).
Co-requisites
Nothing.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
The course is based on laboratory seminars focusing on a practical use of acquired knowledge. Acquired knowledge will be tested within the seminars in connection with KUKA industrial robots. According to actual possibilities, the students will also be confronted with selected lectures presented by industrial experts. Special field trips to selected companies – focused on the course content – are also expected to organize.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes
The condition for the credit is at least 80% participation in seminars and a worked out project focusing on a given topic. Specifications for processing individual projects will be announced at the beginning of the semester.
Work placements
No organizing.
Aims
The aim of the course is to make students familiar with a methodology of designing robotic cells for typical applications and technologies used in the industry. Another aim concerns with methods of programming of industrial robots, including the use of advanced simulation tools for off-line programming. The subject is also the use of external PLC systems and sensors within the robotic cells – their integration and use in the context of solved problems.
Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences
Seminars are obligatory. Justified absence can be compensated by consultations. When obtaining credit, the student's knowledge will be verified based on the ability of their practical application.
Recommended optional programme components
Nothing.
