Course detail
Robotics Workcells Designing and Programming
FSI-GNP Acad. year: 2025/2026 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.

Entry knowledge
Successful completion of the subject Industrial Robots and Manipulators I (GPZ), Robots and Manipulators II (GPL) and a basic knowledge of programming.
Rules for evaluation and completion of the course
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.
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.
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.
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.
