Robotics Laboratory in an Industrial Engineering ProgramAbstractRobotics is the study of the design, manufacture and application of robots used in a variety ofexisting systems or systems to be created. The impact and benefits of robotics in education at alllevels have been documented by many researchers and educators all across the country, as wellas, the world. Several universities have developed robotics programs which provide uniqueopportunities for students to learn about robotic systems through coursework and conduct high-level research. When these courses are combined with hands-on laboratory modules, roboticsprovides a means for student to utilize their analytical skills learned in other Science,Technology
