MFE 303 Advanced Automation and Materials Handling
Advanced Robotics and Materials Handling explores robotic programming. Using RoboCell, a 3D solid-modeling robotic simulation software, students gain a greater understanding of the robotics concepts, and programming commands learned in Basic Robotics and Materials Handling. This course gives students the advanced skills needed to operate, maintain, program, and test robotic systems. In this course, students work with RoboCell to program and operate the robot. The activities challenge students to design solutions for industrial robotic applications, with emphasis on real industrial concerns, such as recording accurate positions, complicated movements, interfacing with peripherals, working with sensors, optimizing programming, and increasing productivity.
