MECH 2730 - Robotic Design and End Effector Tooling4 sem hrs credit
(3 hours lecture-2 hours lab)
Robots are used in many different way and have multiple roles in industry. The end effectors or end of arm tooling used by robots are vital to its success. Design of end effectors and tooling is studied for industry usage. The student will design and create a simple end effector and program the robot to perform a task.
This course is a prerequisite to MECH 2750. Prerequisite: MECH 2710 , MECH 2720
Prerequisite/Corequisite: MATH 1710
In rare and unusual circumstances, a course prerequisite can be overridden with the permission of the Department Lead for the discipline.
Transfer (UT) or Non-Transfer Course (UN): UN
