Human-Robot Collaboration (HRC Pilot Line & Robolab)
Basic principles of safe human-robot collaboration (HRC) solutions in different areas of industrial and services, and their technology maturity levels and expectations for the future. Legislation and relevant standard defining the basis for HRC will be introduced as well as psychological limits of HRC. Participants will have ability to conceptualize collaborative robotics enabled by modern technologies, including their business aspects.
Virtual Commissioning of Robot Systems (HRC Pilot Line & Robolab)
General requirements and principles of robot workcell design. Participants utilize concurrent engineering and modern 3D-design, simulation and offline programming tools to compare alternative layout options and to optimize workcell performance and robot programs. This also includes gripper and feeder design methods and task and process balancing. Created offline robot programs are implemented in real environment meaning that participants can calibrate and execute created robot offline programs with an industrial robot.
Robotics Exercises (HRC Pilot Line & Robolab)
Basic robot programming skills both online and offline. Participants get familiar with different coordinate systems, movement types, system parameters, and control of external devices with the robot controller. Basic skills for offline robot programming with graphical simulation tools. Restrictions and potential of robotics as well as optimization methods for robot programming will be introduced.
Production Automation Planning
Principles of production automation systems and their design in discrete automation. Basic knowledge how to create a layout, how to select right effective and economical devices to a production line, how to design products with the easy assembly in mind, and how to implement modern digital manufacturing software to design a production line. Participants understand the principles of the production line control systems, safety and the basics of automation components and devices (including robots, feeders, conveyors, sensors, machine vision etc.).
AR/VR safety training and applications (HRC Pilot Line & Robolab)
Basic principles how to utilize AR/VR solutions in robotics safety training. Skills and knowledge how to apply AR/VR tools in layout and product design, evaluation and verification, and how to offline program a robot in VR environment.
Machine Vision
Basic principles of machine vision in robotics.
