Summary
Students will learn the basics of industrial robot´s control and programming methodology. Programming will be done both by direct editing of the program via the Teach Pendant and by editing the code in the RobotStudio editor. Teaching is practically oriented so that students will be to operate real systems independently in practice.
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
The aim of the course is to introduce students to industrial robotics. In this course, students will acquire knowledge necessary for operation and control of robots. The course is focused on the basic functions of the system and simpler programming of common trajectories. Exercises takes place in robotics laboratories, working on real industrial ABB robots.
