This is a mandatory module to complete before any of the other modules. This module provides an overview of the history and evolution of robotics, business justification, new applications, performance metrics and return on investment (ROI). It will introduce students to the terminology, components, systems, and type specifications related to robotics.
Course Aim:
This module will provide an overview of the history and evolution of robotics, business justification, new applications, performance metrics and return on investment (ROI). It will introduce students to the terminology, components, systems, and type specifications related to robotics. Students will gain an understanding of the fundamental concepts of robotics, including robot anatomy, robot components, robot systems and robot type specifications. The unit will demonstrate the skills and knowledge necessary to safely operate robots and cobots in an industrial setting.
Learner Profile:
• Individuals who wish to change career and re-skill for career opportunities within Advanced Manufacturing
• Individuals already employed within Advanced Manufacturing at general operative level and who wish to upskill to more advanced automated cell operation.
• Technicians, engineers, and line managers, employed in advanced manufacturing sectors, who have a requirement to understand how robotics could be successfully utilised in their advanced manufacturing environments
• Technicians, engineers, and line managers employed in advanced manufacturing sectors who may have robotics already deployed in their manufacturing environment that are not being used to their maximum efficiency.
• Technicians, engineers and line managers, employed in Advanced Manufacturing sectors who wish to increase their knowledge and skills in the robotics area in order to make more informed business decisions, to improve their business’ agility, to allow the business to keep up to date with the emerging knowledge in the robotics field and to allow businesses to grow own internal talent in robotics.
• Technicians, engineers, and line managers, employed in advanced manufacturing sectors, who needs to develop knowledge skills and competencies in areas such as vision and sensor systems in manufacturing operations, the industrial internet of things (IIoT), cyber physical systems and automated robotics systems
What you will get:
Module 1: History and Evolution of Robotics and Return on Investment (ROI)
This unit will provide an overview of the history of robotics, business justification, new applications, performance metrics and return on investment (ROI). We will discuss the development of robotics from its early days to the present, and how it has been used in industry and in research. We will identify and discuss performance metrics for robotics, such as accuracy, speed, and power consumption, and how they can be used to measure the effectiveness of a particular robot. Finally, we will introduce the ROI of robotics, exploring the cost savings and other benefits that can be realised from investing in robotics.
Component 2: Robotic Terminology, Components, Systems and Manipulation
This unit is designed to introduce students to the terminology, components, systems, and type specification related to robotics. Students will gain an understanding of the fundamental concepts of robotics, including robot anatomy, robot components, robot systems, and robot type specification. Students will learn about the several types of robots such as industrial robots, service robots, and personal robots. The unit introduces the several types of robotic axes and the degrees of freedom (DOF) associated with them. They will also become familiar with the components that make up a robot, such as motors, sensors, actuators, end effectors and vision systems. Finally, this unit provides students with the skills and knowledge to manipulate and control robotic operations using the Operator Panel and Teach Pendant
Component 3: Robotics and Cobotics Health & Safety
This unit is designed to provide students with the knowledge necessary to safely operate robots and cobots in an industrial setting. Students will learn about the several types of robots and cobots, their components, and the safety requirements for their operation. The unit will also cover system safety requirements, including the use of proper safety equipment, and the maintenance and troubleshooting of robots and cobots. The unit will explore the key differences between the use of robots and cobots, and the added safety challenges that arise in the deployment of cobots. Upon completion of the unit, students will know how to use robots and cobots safely and effectively in an industrial setting.
