Robot Predictive Maintenance
Professors
Prerequisites:
Basic Programming Knowledge: Students are expected to have at least basic programming knowledge. Electronics Fundamentals: Understanding basic electronics concepts such as resistance, voltage, current, and having experience with common electronic components could be essential for working with robotic hardware.
Pedagogical objectives:
The goal of this STC is to learn how to carry out and predict maintenance tasks on Robots main constituent elements, in order to define and implement a preventive maintenance plan with a robot according to the empirical test and the manufacturer’s specifications.
This includes learning the electrical-motor elements that comprise an articulated robot and understanding its operation and function, how to carry out an error diagnosis based on the robot’s operation log, and hence designing AI to prevent accidents during the maintenance of robotic equipment.
Evaluation modalities:
Continuous monitoring and exam.
