Course detail

Industrial Robots and Manipulators III

FSI-GROAcad. year: 2025/2026

The course is a follow up to the knowledge of industrial robots and manipulators I, industrial robots and manipulators II, and the robotics workcells designing and programming. It extends existing knowledge about modern trends in robot programming in individual technological applications. And it further expands the knowledge and skills of digital commissioning, realization and testing of robot production systems.

Aims

Acquisition of expanding knowledge and skills in programming, digital commissioning, realization and testing of robotized workplaces. The content of the course is practical training of digital / real commissioning and testing of proposed motion paths and algorithms of robotized workplace.
On the basis of practical demonstrations in individual lessons they will be able to work independently in the field of robot programming, digital commissioning, realization and testing of robotized workplaces for various technological operations (handling, palletizing, gluing, welding…).
