Hands-On Industrial Robotics Laboratory DevelopmentIntroductionThis paper presents efforts of the author in developing practical hands-on laboratory exercises inRobotics and Automation, based-on his work in two different universities. The laboratoryexercises evolved into their current state after more than a decade of teaching with ABB, Eshed,and Fanuc robots. The author’s previous laboratory development included programming olderASEA IRB 6 and modern ABB IRB 140 robots using ARLA and RAPID languages respectivelyas well as integrating conveyors, sensors, Prolight NC machines, and Eshed’s Scorbots into asmall work-cell structure. After working with ASEA and ABB robots, the author had to go backto the FANUC technology due to change in teaching

Renewable Energy science and technology stimulates discoveries anddevelopments that promise to sustain a wave of new technological and economic innovationsthroughout the world. It is likely that the use of renewable energy will become an increasingnational priority that will affect the next generation of college students. This system is comprisedof several subsystems and elements that are together utilized to automate the gathering andprocessing of solar cell roughness data. While a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) is usedfor controlling the I/O between the robots in the workcell and the Laser Check system, aLabVIEW program

A goal of this project was to introduce the students tothe concept of sustainability by researching and working with renewable materials such as PLAand clay nanoparticles in a hands-on laboratory setting. The mechanical and flame retardantproperties of the polymer-clay composite were compared with the control, virgin PLAspecimens. The results of the project were shared with the entire class via a presentation.The students’ understanding of sustainability was assessed in the course’s examination, and theresults of the assessment will be shared in a paper presentation at the 2012 conference.
