Study Guide

Objective

Students will learn about various types of robots and examine robots and how to use them in factory automation and other areas where robots are needed. The will know the structure, features and coordinate systems of robots as well as the periphery devices used in robotics. Students will be competent in handling and programming industrial robots on- and offline. The course provides fundamental knowledge of robotics and an ability to design and select equipment for the automatic handling of products.
