MOOC - Robotic Engineer
Simulation and design
This unit enables learners to understand and appreciate simulation engineering in relation to automated systems and robotics and understand process optimisation in relation to industrial robotic systems.
Introduction to Simulation Engineering:
This element enables learners to understand and appreciate simulation engineering in relation to automated systems and robotics
ROBENG.U4.E1.PC1
Identify simulation packages available and their purpose.
ROBENG.U4.E1.PC2
Make modifications to a production cell model to meet a revised specification using a chosen simulation system.
ROBENG.U4.E1.PC3
Model a simple production cell from given data using a chosen simulation system.
ROBENG.U4.E1.PC4
Demonstrate FMEA techniques relating to an automation process.
ROBENG.U4.E1.PC5
Explain the advantages and limitations of simulation engineering in the design of robotic manufacturing systems such as:
- modelling energy usage of the equipment in real time to realise an energy efficient process
- skills, costs incurred benefits, time saved, and design mistakes.
