Objectives

Industrial Robotics is an essential technology adopted by manufacturing industries. So it is recognized that a mechanical engineer specialized in the automation area, must be familiar with this technology, its applications and functioning. This unit aims to prepare the students to be able to recognize the suitability and implications of applying the robotics technology to specific industrial applications. This curricular unit aims to provide the students with the necessary tools so they can be able to understand, characterize, specify and use of robotic manipulators, as well as to program and operate industrial robotic manipulators. 

Learning outcomes and competences

By the end of this course the student will be able to:
- Identify and evaluate the potential use of robotic manipulator systems as well as explain and determine their limitations;
- Identify and classify various types of industrial robots and explain its principles of operation;
- Specify a solution of a robotic cell and critically examine a proposal for a given problem;
- To program an industrial robot;
- Conduct a kinematic analysis of a robotic manipulator;
- Describe the operation of trajectory generation systems used in robotic manipulators;
- Determine the needs of automation for a particular application using robotic manipulators;

Teaching methods and learning activities

This course comprises exposition classes supported by audiovisual means related to technology and to the use of industrial robotic systems. The laboratory classes are used to complement the exposition classes, allowing the students to deeply study the robotic manipulators,  the contact with industrial robots, their use and their application in industrial tasks.
