Students will be able to specify, design and economically evaluate robot-based systems within production facilities.
They understand the methods of specifying industrial robots according to given requirements and selecting the necessary and most suitable robot components including safety devices.
The students can assess which peripheral devices are necessary, can justify the selection technically and present an analogy economically over the life phases.
The students know which applications require the use of robot systems or multi-robot systems, how they are integrated into ERP systems and how humans are represented in the overall system.
The types of physical and cognitive human-machine interfaces are known and understood.
