The following Exercises are to be conducted
01. To become familiar with the use of a kinematics graphics simulator in order to perform robot motion and programming.
02. To use trajectory planning concepts on the model of a single-link robotic manipulator.
03. To familiarize students with the use of a vision system.
04. Simulation of Cutting/Milling operations on a computer using CAM packages.
05. To simulate a manufacturing system using discrete-event simulation techniques. To enable students to have a Systems-Wide View of manufacturing systems. A 3-D graphics manufacturing-oriented simulation software on a PC-type computer should be used. A simple manufacturing system is modelled first and the effects of local changes examined.. Then, students make changes to the manufacturing system in order to increase throughput, reduce in-process inventories, and so on. The effects of resource failure and repair times are also examined.
