RobotStudio in Engineering Education

Abstract

The aim of this project was to learn how to use the software used for programme ABB robots, called RobotStudio, and to perform a course material with a range of simulation examples, step by step, which will be used in the course “Autonomous systems” at Novia University.

Firstly, this report contains some background about robots and the ABB company. Then, full research was carried out about the use of the software and how the examples could be implemented. For it, it was needed to acquire knowledge about the programme, how to program on the station and about the language code, called RAPID.

As a result, a manual was made to help students to learn how to use the software used on this project. On it, it is explained how to start putting elements on the simulation, creating a path, turning on the simulation, among other tools. The main part of the report is the simulation examples. An effort was made to work with different activities and increase the difficulty each time. Six different simulations have been developed, fully explained and they can be imitated easily to learn about the programme and the code
