This course explains the knowledge and technology required to apply robotics for automating manufacturing industry. The contents include automation, robot definition, robot structure, robot application, robot programming, kinematics analysis, end effectors, sensors, actuator and robot controller. The learning is centered on the industrial robotic arm cell and wheel mobile robots that are available in the School of Mechanical Engineering, Universiti Sains Malaysia. Throughout the course, the students are required to program the robot from a simple sequential program growing to a complicated program that can complete a task for manufacturing process. While the student programming the robot, the knowledge and technologies that are required in robotic will be thought gradually.
Skill Level: Beginner
