After successful completion of the course, students are able to record and assess industrial robots and their practical use in flexible automation, the construction of industrial robots, general boundary conditions in automotive engineering and the cost management of an automotive supplier.
Industrial robots and applications in flexible automation; structure of industrial robots, focussing on manipulators, drives, sensors, effectors, control and programming; tolerance compensation for applications of industrial robots; Driving factors in the automotive industry; examples for cost management of automotive suppliers, target costing; assembly automation for electronic control units, production of electronic control units based on printed circuit boards and ceramic substrates; examples for mechatronic technology, automated manual transmissions, camshaft phasing, power steering, brake by wire; powertrain management with focus on control architectures and transmission integrated electronic controls; improvements of functionality by electronics.
The lecture gives an insight into the above-mentioned basic methods that are used in robotics by automobile manufacturers and automotive suppliers. In the lecture the methods mentioned above are presented and illustrated by practical examples.
The lecture will be given online in the summer term 2021. The link can be found here Microsoft Teams Link.
In the summer term 2021 the exam will be conducted online as a written exam on paper. Examiners and candidates will be connected permanently via a Zoom meeting with audio and video. The exam questions will be provided on TUWEL. They have to be answered on paper without using any other material. At the end, the answers have to be scanned or photographed and uploaded to TUWEL as a single PDF document. It's not allowed to upload individual images. Free apps that could be used are Adobe Scan or Office Lense. Candidates should get familiar with the tools before the exam. Two devices with cameras are required for the exam (e.g., laptop and smartphone). The exact mode will be explained in the first lecture.
