Level 1: Fundamentals
Robotics
Today, and in the future, Robotics are becoming more and more common. From repetitive tasks to highly complex
interaction with humans, robots can be found. This course is designed expose students to the various types of robots
Level 1
and the various ways they can increase productivity in industrial applications. While these robots can replace low
skilled human tasks, they require people with technical skills to program, operate and maintain them.
Upon completion of this course, student will have worked with various types and brands of robots – learning how to
program, teach positions, and work safely with these critical elements of modern industry
Course Topics
−− Introduction to industrial robotics −− Program editing

Equipment
CIROS Robotics Software
−− Allows students to simulate and control the
operation of various brands and types of robots
−− Control the robot movements using “articular”
and/or “Cartesian” coordinates
−− Multi-seat licensing and transfer of files between
computers
−− Various application models to choose from
for real-world applications
−− Control/simulation software program simulates and
controls with three-dimensional representations of
the mechanical and electrical characteristics of the
equipment
At least one Industrial Robot is required.

Level 2: Advanced Mechatronics
Applied Robotics
Estimated Duration: 20 hours
The Applied Robotics Course expands on Robotics Fundamentals. Students will work more extensively with the CIROS
software and real industrial robotic applications. Robots rarely do work in isolation. They interact with other manual
Level 2
and automated systems. The MPS Robot Cell allows students to learn about these topics and how to program and edit
robot programs and positions to accomplish various tasks.
Course Topics
−− Integration of an industrial robot in an assembly −− Maintenance, servicing, and troubleshooting of
process complex systems
−− Teaching of robots in complex assembly −− Programming of industrial robots combined with the
environments integration of sensors and additional actuators
−− Commissioning of complex systems −− Programming of multitasking applications
Core Competencies
−− Program and edit complex robot applications −− Effectively work with subroutines
−− Incorporate sensors and other automated elements −− Efficiently maintain and service industrial robots
into the robot application −− Teach precise robot positions
Equipment
MPS Robot and Assembly Station
The Festo Robot and Assembly station is based on the
proven design of the Festo MPS® and can easily be
integrated with upstream and/or downstream stations.
The robot determines the orientation of the bodies
and places them in the assembly holder in the correct
orientation. It takes the piston from the pallet and
assembles it in the body. Controlled magazines feed the
piston springs and cylinder end caps to the robot.
The fully assembled pneumatic cylinder is then placed
on a slide.
The system includes:
−− Trolley with Safety Guarding System
−− Industrial Robot (Mitsubishi, Fanuc, ABB, Kuka, Etc.)
−− Handling Module
−− Assembly module
