Learning outcomes of the course unit

Students are familiar with the problematics of robotic machining. They are able to estimate a suitable procedure for the production of specific objects and prepare milling strategies in a 3D machining program. They are able to work independently with a machining robot.

Prerequisites

Basic knowledge of working with PC, ability to navigate in virtual space, patience and interest in 3D technologies. Experience with 3D programs (3D Max, Maya, Rhinoceros 3D, SolidWorks, etc.) is welcomed.

Co-requisites

Not applicable.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

A series of lectures accompanied with briefings and practical exercises leading to the acquisition of skills.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

Credit awarded on a basis of attendance (80%) and completion of assigned tasks.

Course curriculum

1) Introduction to milling, machine kinematics, milling methods
2) Robotic hand options
3) Introduction to robotic workplace safety, basic service and health check.
4) Manual robot programming
5) Introduction to software, model import, modification
6) Setting of simulation parameters
7) Machining simulation and robot movement adjustment
8) 3D robotic machining

Work placements

Not applicable.

Aims

The aim of the course is to acquaint students with the technology of 3D robotic machining and teach them to use this technology to create spatial objects. On the basis of lectures and practical exercises, students should acquire the necessary skills for independent work in the field of robotic machining, and thus broaden their knowledge of the use of other technology in modern sculpture.

Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences

Active participation in the classes is necessary, so compulsory - teaching will take the form of lectures and exercises, where students divided into groups of two will be encouraged to cooperate on exercise tasks.
