Industrial Collaborative Robotics

Semester 1 · 47584 · Master in Industrie- und Maschineningenieurwesen · 6KP · EN

The course aims at providing concepts and skills in the industrial collaborative robotics domain.
Students will learn: (i) fundamental and advanced concepts of industrial Human-Robot Interaction (HRI); (ii) fundamental and advanced concepts of safety of machinery and risk assessment for industrial traditional and collaborative robots; (iii) fundamental concepts of ergonomics in advanced human-robot interaction; (iv) fundamental and advanced concepts of robot kinematics useful in collaborative applications.
Then, they will acquire fundamental knowledge and competences on how to program and operate industrial collaborative robots.

Art der Prüfung
Formative Assessment: • Exercises in the lecture room (After each unit lecture); • Group work and lab hands-on activities (During the ex/lab hours). Summative Assessment: • Written exam with questions on the theory (1h): 50% of final grade; • Project work encompassing case study and subsequent presentation of the work: 50% of final grade.

Bewertungskriterien
Final evaluation by a single final grade. The final grade is calculated 50% from the results of the written exam and 50% from the results of the project work. Criteria for the evaluation of the written examination are: • completeness and correctness of the answers. Criteria for the evaluation of the project work / case study are: • accuracy and completeness as well as creativity and innovation of the proposed solution and quality of presentation.
