As the course was designed for seniors and graduate students, mostof the students aimed to pursue their careers in robotics. They were motivated to work onimproving their algorithm performance as they were already interested in the topics. Having thesystem dynamics course listed as a prerequisite course, some students wanted to design their ownPID trajectory tracking controller instead of time-based control. We plan to include this as anoptional lab activity.Successes and ChallengesFirst of all, having Windows-based PCs in the lab caused some issues at the beginning of thesemester.

Althoughthis project was not centered on a specific industry partner, it provided the same experience inworking with industrial equipment and creating an industrial environment within a laboratorysetting. The scope of the project was such that the students needed to adequately research theFANUC robotics platform as well as the safety equipment and procedures required for anindustrial robot work cell. This adequately mimicked the industry experience.The knowledge of robotic platforms is extremely valuable in industry today. Not only operatingbut having installed and configured a robot is an experience that will be helpful moving forwardinto other, larger projects in future careers.
