Robot Applications 215

Robot Applications provides an overview of the manufacturing capabilities of modern robots and the industries that use them. Industrial robots decrease cost and production time by autonomously performing programmed operations in production industries, such as automotive, aerospace, and electronics. With continuous advancements in materials, software, and other technologies, the impact of robots continues to grow in complexity and diversity. While welding is one of the largest robot applications, industrial robots often carry out material handling tasks, machine tending, and assembly operations. Robots can directly process, fabricate, cut, and finish parts during production, while also assisting inspection. After taking this class, users will have a basic understanding of both conventional and advanced industrial robot applications.
