This course will introduce students to robotic automation within a manufacturing system. Robots as a form of automation have improved manufacturing by performing tasks that may be too mundane, impossible, unsafe, or inefficient for humans to perform. Robot effectiveness is impacted by factors such as robot geometry, controlling program, and robot power sources. Students create programs for a robot to move material similarly to pick and place operations typically used in an automated manufacturing setting. Students integrate a robot arm into a more complex environment through integration with other devices. (DMACC Credit offered with completion of both CIM Manufacturing + CIM Robotics). This course must be taken for DMACC credit.
