  • Fees: €1550

  • Course Type Flexible and Professional Learning

  • Study Mode Part Time

  • Department Mechanical and Automobile Engineering

  • Start Date 11/11/2026

Course Overview

The purpose of this unit is to enable learners to develop an understanding of the reasons for using robots in manufacturing and gain knowledge of the many application areas in which robots are already used. They will have knowledge of the classification and geometrical and kinematic configurations of robot arms, their accuracy and repeatability and the types of computer-based control systems used. Also, they will gain knowledge of the tooling (robot end effectors) needed for robots to carry out manufacturing tasks.

Robot programming methods will be introduced in the unit and learners will have the opportunity to create and test their robot programs.

 

 

More Information

  • The learner will:

    1. understand the developing trends for using robots in engineering manufacture
    2. understand robot arm configurations and their classifications
    3. be able to produce working robot programs
    4. understand robot cell design

  • Good standard of use of Windows PC’s. Ideally a background in a manufacturing environment where automation is in place or begining. Students will be required to programme a robot cell offline and at the robot interface. Good spational reasoning required.

  • The programme will run for 15 Weeks, 1 evening per week, 3 hours per evening

    Wednesdays from 7pm to 10pm

    Start Date

    Classes will commence on Wednesday 11th November 2026
