Synopsis:

The course is devoted to the control and simulation of industrial robots and manipulators. It focuses on the basic principles of robotics and their programming, modeling and simulation of individual robots and larger units with several robots, including their integration into the control system and higher-level systems for production control, data collection, etc. Students will acquire the knowledge necessary for the design, programming and integration of industrial robots into production lines and robotic cells. Emphasis will be placed on gaining practical experience during laboratory exercises; after completing the course, students will be able to independently automate the assigned task in the form of a robotic cell with one or more robots.
