An Undergraduate Teaching Laboratory For Industrial Robotic Manipulation

9451211 Erdmann这个项目向本科生展示了操作机器人的基础知识。我们将为对机器人感兴趣的本科生建立一个教学实验室。该实验室将处于介于本科机器人课程的基础知识和研究生一年级课程的高级主题之间的中间阶段。该实验室将为本科生提供实践经验。我们的目标是通过教育学生工业操作的基础知识和让他们接触过去二十年的实际研究成果来加强制造业基础。我们设想实验室将包含一系列机器人、几何建模系统和小型工厂工作单元。这些机器人将是Zebra Zero力控机器人，由运行规划和几何建模系统的工作站控制。每个机器人将配备一个摄像头和帧捕捉器，用于手眼任务。本科生必须参加本实验课以获得学分。课程将包括一系列结构化的机器人操作任务，从零件定位到零件装配，再到几个机器人之间合作机器人策略的规划和执行。

9451211 Erdmann This project exposes undergraduates to the fundamentals of manipulation robotics. We will build a teaching laboratory for undergraduates interested in robotics. The laboratory will be at an intermediate stage of advancement situated between the basics taught in an undergraduate robotics course and the advanced topics taught in first year graduate courses. The laboratory will provide hands-on experience for undergraduates. Our goal is to strengthen the manufacturing base by educating students in the fundamentals of industrial manipulation and by exposing them to the practical research results of the last two decades. We envision that the laboratory will contain a series of robots, geometric modeling systems, and small-scale factory work cells. The robots will be Zebra Zero force-controlled robots, controlled from workstations running planning and geometric modeling systems. Each robot will be given a camera and frame grabber for use in hand-eye tasks. Undergraduates will be expected to enroll in this laboratory course for academic credit. The curriculum will consist of a structured sequence of robot manipulation tasks, ranging from parts orienting, to parts assembly, to the planning and execution of cooperative robot strategies among several robots.
