Week 13

Learning goals

After writing the project proposal (Conceive, design):

• Analyze an industrial automation task

• Reduce the solution to a minimal, workable system using existing lab infrastructure

• Define requirements, including functional, safety, security and usability constraints.

• Structure a software- and robot arm-based solution

• Communicate the technical approach, constraints, stakeholders, milestones, and expected outcomes in a written proposal

at the end of the project period (Implement, integrate, test, operate, present):

• Use object-oriented programming for controlling and monitoring

• Program an industrial robot using URScript

• Integrate different industrial tools like conveyor belt, visual object identification, and sensors

• Develop a simple and user-friendly GUI

• Apply basic industrial safety and security principles in automated systems.

• Test and iterate to ensure system meets requirements and operates reliably.

• Present and explain the solution to technical and non-technical stakeholders.

• Work project-oriented in a team, dividing tasks and responsibilities effectively

• Writing a project proposal

Preparation:

• revise your idea from week 1 or find other ideas so that you can discuss about their feasibility with the lab technicians
