Learning outcomes of the course unit
The course allows the students to acquire basic knowledge on construction of common types of production machines and industrial robots.
Prerequisites
Basic knowledge of machine construction.
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
Graded credit is awarded on the basis of test (the subject matter of the lectures) and meet the requirements relating to the exercise.
Aims
The aim of the course is to provide the students with information on basic types of production (machining and forming) machines and industrial robots, their construction, functions and key features. Students get familiar with present production of industrial robots, machine tools and forming machines in Czech Republic and abroad.
This subject is included into study plan of 3rd year of general bachelor's study as a compulsory-optional one. It is recommended as a prerequisite of branch M-VSR, M-VSY or M-AIR.
Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences
Attendance at lectures is not obligatory, yet recommended. Seminars are obligatory. Graded course-unit credit is awarded on the basis of test. Absence on seminars must be excused and can be substituted for by presentation of a report.
