Robotics Interfacing Engineering is taught as a 300 level course to introducerobot actuators, sensory, fundamentals of control theory, and the integration of robot systems.This course integrates the engineering design of a specific robotics problem and implementationin the laboratory. The problem involves industrial engineering techniques, hardware interfacing,software interfacing, and control devices for designing and building an autonomous robot. Aninterdisciplinary approach is used. Recently, vision system technology has been introduced inthis course as a new component for students to
course is labintensive. Western Washington University is on the quarter system, so there are only ten weeksof class. The Industrial Robotics course has two 2-hour laboratory meetings and one 2-hour lecturesession each week. The four hours of lab/week for each student provides the students with mean-ingful exposure to the robots. Students generally work in lab and on their project in teams of three,although often one team of four is necessary due to the number of students in the class. Each labperiod there are up to four different labs occurring simultaneously during a lab session.The learning outcomes for the class are that by the end of it students will be able to: • Do basic robot modeling and motion planning, • Program robots to
