This course develops your capabilities in advanced robotics for manufacturing. You will learn the functions of electronics, electrical and mechanical components used in industrial robots and how to safely control movement and operation of robots. Topics covered in this course include, operational amplifiers, integrated circuits, electrical controllers, mechanical arms, production lines, coordinate frame transformations, kinematic analysis of robot design, secure movement of robot arm, and programming. You will also be introduced to digital twinning (the mapping of a physical asset to a digital platform) which is one of the latest technologies to optimise operation of robot stations. It can use data from sensors on the physical asset to analyse its efficiency, condition and real-time status. You will also learn advantages of robotics technologies and possible social impacts.
