4. Course Description:

The robotics integration lab course begins the process of student working within application groups implementing the robotic automated manufacturing application designed and developed in RAST 2101 Application Planning and Layout. This will include building electrical control center, building robot end of arm tooling, product fixturing, programming of all programmable devices within the cell which can include multiple robots, programmable logic controllers, sensors and other devices. During the course students will document cell progress, evaluate operation of electrical, mechanical and programmed devices. Applications can be welding, material handling, assembly, CNC machine load unload, and replicate actual automated manufacturing processes in industry.
