INST-3010Robotics Applications in Mechatronics
Is a robot the right solution for automating a manufacturing process? Building on their knowledge and experience in advanced manufacturing and mechatronics, students will review various types of robotic systems and their applications. Students will learn to identify inefficient processes and “dirty, dull, or dangerous” tasks. They will examine key performance indicators and analyze the requirements and constraints that guide the selection of a robotic systems solution. Students will also learn how to organize and collaborate with a team of specialists and tradespeople to design, simulate, and deploy a robotic system. Finally, they will explore strategies for predictive maintenance and continuous improvement of the manufacturing process.
