RBT 102 - Smart Manufacturing and Advanced Robotics Training, Experimental


Credits: 3
2 Lecture Hours 2 Lab Hours

Description
This course will prepare students with the skills necessary to become a robotics technician. Hands on and theoretical components of robot systems will be explored through five tracks: mechanical foundations, electrical foundations, fabrication foundations, software foundations and robotics integration. Students will also gain an understanding of workplace skills needed for success in a robotics company.
Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of the course, students will:

  1. Construct simple circuits.
  2. Troubleshoot and test wires.
  3. Control the flow of electricity in circuits.
  4. Construct wiring panels using terminal blocks.
  5. Plan and construct the layout of an electronics board.
  6. Accurately measure component dimensions.
  7. Assemble a structure using techncial schematics.
  8. Understand and apply bracing to address stability issues. 
  9. Incorporate chains, sprockets and gears into an assembly.
  10. Understand different drivetrains and their foundations. 
  11. Select appropriate materials for robot chasses.
