Virtual Commissioning of Robot Systems, 5 cr

Core content

• To learn to design effective robot workcells to perform specified task based on the knowledge gained in prerequisite courses.
• Student will become acquainted with modern 3-D simulation tools and learns to use them effectively in robot cell design and simulation.
• Workcell functionality is demonstrated and tested by comprehensive robot programming to perform complete workcell sequence and to simulate selected processes.
  
• Groups get familiar with concurrent engineering in real life industrial development assignment.

Complementary knowledge

• To be able to perform comparison between different workcell alternatives. Requires deeper understanding in performance values of different robot types and sizes.
• Simulation tools are used to verify workcell performance by using different settings and basig data.
  
• Workcell performance is increased by optimisation of robot programs based on simulation data and process analysis.
• Students learn project management while interacting with customers and within own project group.

Specialist knowledge

• To be able to perform measures and analysis in workcell performance and to optimize it.
  
  
• When operator presence is required, human manikin simulation can also be implemented.
• In some assignments robot programs can also be downloaded to real life workcell. In this case assignment includes also calibration of the workcell model.
  
• Project management platforms can be used to optimize resource allocation and schedueling.
