Course detail
Robotics Workcells Designing and Programming
FSI-GNP Acad. year: 2022/2023 Summer semester
The main aim of the course is to acquaint students with the basics of robotic cell design for various applications or technologies. The main emphasis is placed on the use of simulation tools (e.g. SW Siemens Process Simulate, Abb RobotStudio) for verification of the technological process and determination of the cycle time within the level of time-based simulation or event-based simulation. Furthermore, students will learn about the currently available possibilities of programming industrial robots.

Learning outcomes of the course unit
Students will gain a comprehensive overview of possibilities and requirements for a robotic cell design. Based on their experience they will be able to work independently in the field of designing workplaces for typical industrial applications (handling, palletizing, welding, machining, etc.). Students will also gain a comprehensive and practically oriented overview of the possibilities of programming industrial robots.
Prerequisites
Successful completion of the subject Industrial Robots and Manipulators I (GPZ), Robots and Manipulators II (GPL) and a basic knowledge of programming.
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, ABB 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
Assessment methods and criteria linked to this course: course-unit credit is awarded on condition of having attended the seminars at least 80 % and worked out a semestral project on a given topic. Specifications for processing individual projects will be specified at the beginning of the semester.
Aims
The aim of the course is to acquaint students with the methodology of designing robotic cells for typical applications and technologies used in industry. Another aim is a practical knowledge of programming methods of industrial robots, including the use of advanced simulation tools for off-line programming.
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.
