Unit description

Introduces students to the application of a systems-based engineering approach to design of industrial robotics systems. A scenario-based learning approach is used to guide students in applying a range of practical tools and techniques along with skills in systems analysis, engineering design and project management to a real industry-based engineering project.

Learning outcomes

Unit Learning Outcomes express learning achievement in terms of what a student should know, understand and be able to do on completion of a unit. These outcomes are aligned with the graduate attributes. The unit learning outcomes and graduate attributes are also the basis of evaluating prior learning.

On completion of this unit, students should be able to:

employ a systems approach that accounts for existing and emerging practical knowledge of manipulator kinematics and dynamics and robotics architecture and design along with other relevant contextual factors to define and analyse a well-defined problem related to industrial robotics systems

apply practical engineering methods, techniques, tools and resources to design solutions to a well-defined problem related to industrial robotics systems

systematically develop solutions to a well-defined industrial robotics systems project and report the outcomes

self-assess use of management skills, social skills and professional judgement in contributing to the successful completion of a well-defined project related to industrial robotics systems

demonstrate the ability to model and simulate an industrial robotic manipulator to solve a real-world problem

apply knowledge of robotic programming to solve a real engineering problem using an industrial robotic system.
