operation depends on parts to be assembled. The Primary target of this manufacturing cell isto glue three parts together to produce a small medical device with limited human intervention.There are three different trajectory actions required to completely assemble the part. Thisresearch paper talks about how to program a low-cost Scara robot for the manufacturing cellwhich performs multiple sequential operations to produce the device.First operation is to glue part “A” and part “B” together to produce a part ‘AB”. The secondoperation is the glue drying time of part “AB”. The third operation is to glue part “C” to part“AB”. The forth operation is to dry part “ABC”. Since there is a minimum robot trajectoryactivity during the glue drying process, a

is a risk of damage whenmodifying a multi-layer machine-soldered circuitboard. The final option was to use a RaspberryPito receive communications and pass them on to theArduino. This is the option that was chosen,because it allows for expandability (such as addingcomputer vision for autonomy), and it allows morecommunications options than just packetized serial.The RaspberryPi Model-B provides a 700 MHzARM11 CPU, a Broadcom VideoCore IV GPUwith OpenGL support, and two USB 2.0 ports.6 Figure 6. RaspberryPi BoardAnother important step in choosing hardware was to decide the body style of the robot and themethod to be used for mobility. Since the goal of this project was to create a

concepts.In the fourth and fifth weeks of the class students examine methods for driving LEDs andswitches on the 9s12. One of the important aspects to explore is the temperature dependence ofthe instrumentation system. It is impractical to do cold weather testing within the laboratory sostudents explore the effect that temperature will have on the LED’s light through simulation.
