About
About the course
Course content
The development and role of industrial robots in the manufacturing industry. The elemets of robots: Motors, drive mechanisms and measument systems. Robot kinematics and control algoritms. Sensory systems: Electronic vision and force sensing. Assembly systems: System structures, component feeding, adaptive assembly, assembly process monitoring. Analysis of assembly friendliness, design for assembly.
Learning outcome
Development of basic insight in the structure and features of industrial robots, knowledge about planning of industrial robot applications, practical training in programming of industrial robots and simulation of robot applications.
Learning methods and activities
Lectures and exercises, laboratory tasks on programming of robot operations, computer simulation of robot operations. The lectures and exercises are in English when students who do not speak Norwegian take the course. If there is a re-sit examination, the examination form may be changed from written to oral.
Compulsory assignments
- Theoretical and lab exercises
- A miniproject
Recommended previous knowledge
