The Consortium for Research & Robotics' executive education courses help design professionals maintain the skills needed to work with new technologies as they emerge. This course will explore essential concepts for working with industrial robotics, including the history and future of robotic digital design. The real-time, 3d modeling workshop will cover the basics of robotic movements, the interface between user, controller, and robot, and how to design for a co-robotic environment, and will culminate in a hands-on design project using one of New York's largest industrial robots.

Learning Objectives:

• You will have a clear understanding of essential concepts in industrial robotics history, use case scenarios, and the current state of robotic R&D.
• You will have a clear understanding of basic robotic assemblies, movements and functions, as well as a knowledge of how to interface with the robot and controller.
• You will have a basic understanding of robotic programming with Grasshopper, as well as direct interface with programming through HAL Robotics plugins.
• You will be able to respond to a given design problem with a robotic process. You will be able to react to a given design scenario with a supplied tool, program and simulate tool pathing, and execute RAPID code.

Some 3d modeling experience is required. A temporary Rhino 6 license will be provided for all participants.
