IMD 3010 - Introduction to Robotics

• List advantages of automated manufacturing systems
• Describe an automated manufacturing system
• Home the robot
• Run a Scorebase program
• Describe each axis of a robot
• Use the manual controls to move the robot
• Use the keyboard to move the robot
• Control the speed of the robot movement
• Describe inputs to a robotic system
• Control outputs to a robotic system
• Monitor the status of inputs and outputs
• Select and record robot positions
• Create a program that instructs the robot to go through a series of movements.
• Save positions to a program
• Edit a Scorbase program
• Use coordinates to program  robot positions
• Set relative coordinate positions
• Increment variables to set target positions for stacking disks.
• Create a flow chart with branching statements
• Create conditional branching statements in a program.
• Edit the program to read information from sensors.
• Use inputs to determine when all disks have been loaded on the conveyor
• Combine programs as subroutines
• Add inputs to the robotic system for special programming operations.
• Use input switches to sort silver disks.
• Write a program that returns the disks to the parts feeder tube using a decrement routine to select the position for picking up each disk.
• Write a program that will determine which side of the disk is facing up, and then turn the disk, if necessary.
• Write a program that allows you to reverse the conveyor to return the black discs to the parts feeder.
• Use analog inputs to control the robot.
• Build an analog input that can be used with outputs to control the robot.
• Use analog inputs and outputs to provide up to 256 levels of input.
• Apply your programming skills to arrange and assemble disks.
• Demonstrate your understanding of automated handling by taking the “Level One Review.”
• Explore automated material handling by completing a challenge project.
