Course detail
Industrial Robots and Manipulators I
FSI-GPZ Acad. year: 2018/2019 Winter semester
The course contains the lectures concemed with the design of industrial robots and manipulators. With this aim, the economic relationship between the production, prices of production machines and effective manipulation is analysed, and industrial robots are defined. On the basis of a system approach, their basic subsystems are analysed, and an actuation system of industrial robots is highlighted. In view of this, a kinematic chain of industrial robots and manipulators is studied, and on the basis of the theory of combinatorial algorithms, a positioning system of PRaM is described in a greater detail. Further, basic and derived types of industrial robots and manipulators are defined and presented. Orientation system of PRaM, design of translatory and rotary units, drives and gearboxes in the design of PRaM, and some other design solutions to PRaM are studied in a greater detail. Finally, current and futuristic projects of future robotised factories are outlined. Tutorials are focused on practical demonstrations of industrial robots and their programming.

Learning outcomes of the course unit
The course enables the students to acquire the latest finding from design, projection and possible use of stationary industrial robots and manipulators in industrial practice and also to enlarge the scope of programming skills. The emphasis is also laid on the practical skills of students developed in laboratories.
Prerequisites
Through and detailed knowledge of the mechanisms and parts of the machines, their design and calculation.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline. Teaching is suplemented by practical laboratory work. According to the possibility of teaching can be organized lectures for students by practitioners and excursions to companies focused on activities related to the course content.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes
Conditions for awarding the cource-unit credit:
1.Attendance at obligatory tutorials (100 %)
2.Fulfilling conditions of systematic checkups (preparation for tutorials, active participation in tutorials); this will be specified at the beginning of the semester in the respective tutorial.
3.Corrected and agreed up end-of-semester project from the laboratory tutorial
Aims
The aim of the course Industrial Robots and Manipulators II is to make students familiar with the basics of uptodate technical robotics. The task is to provide the students with the necessary interconnection between the findings from the areas of designing, projection, control, and application of PRaM that are the grounds for their future working activities as designers of robots and manipulators, or if appropriate designers of robotized workplaces.
Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences
Attendance at the exercises is checked. Absence may be in justified cases compesated for via special make-up work.
