For one-quarter/semester, freshman through senior-level courses in two-and four-year colleges in Introduction to Robotics, Manufacturing Automation, or Production Design.

Featuring a careful balance of theory and application techniques, this introduction to robotics shows students how to design and build a robot-driven automated work cell―from selection of hardware through programming of the devices to economic justification of the project. Written from a manufacturing perspective, it does not address robots in an isolated manner, but rather explores the broad topic of industrial work cells that contain a robot―including robot automation and all the other technology needed in the automated work cell to integrate the robot with the work environment and with the enterprise data base.
