Introduction Current situation
increased dissemination of robots in industry need to train people
lack of funding for Portuguese HEI find new ways to teach robotics
Solution ROBIN course for the ISEP MEEC students practical training using COTS robot simulation
software for off-line programming

State of the art in robotics education
Several courses in HEI on mobile robots
Robotics teaching and education avoiding the inherent costs of hardware internet based remote laboratories sites were user can interact with robots use of simulation software for teaching robotics

State of the art in robotics education Courses on IRs not usual
software simulation applications used teaching several distinct subjects
scarce information on the use of COTS simulators for OLP to support teaching of programming and operation of IRs exceptions

Organization of the courseOrganization of the classes Theoretical classes (2h/w)
presented the theoretical subjects by the teacher
Tutorial classes (1h/w) support to a research work developed in groups
Laboratory classes (2h/w) teach students the principles of robot programming divided in two periods

Organization of the courseOrganization of the classes Instruction scripts
1. Creation of the world model
2. Targets creation3. Development of the
program4. Simulation of the robot
program in the virtual controller
5. Creation of a mechanism

Organization of the courseOrganization of the classes Sw and hw emulate manufacturing environment
aid students rapidly testing and refining new behaviors before running them on the actual robotic system
laboratory resources extensively used for conducing hands-on lab assignments
Learning process extraordinarily fast students fully motivated developing their ideas and representing them
![Page 12: Implementation of a Novel Industrial Robotics Course and its Evaluation by Students](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070601/5885ba231a28ab6f168b5623/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Organization of the courseRole of the teacher/tutor Teacher role different in the 2 phases of activity
active at the beginning proposal of methodological guidelines for the development
of the project organized presentation of the tools to be used in the
simulation and off-line programming
reference person in development phase ready to help in the solution of any problem no will to influence the choices of the designers

Course implementation results Assessment survey
Q1&3: preferred hands-on course organized according to project-based style
Q1-4: learn more with this course style compared to lecture/ test style curriculum
![Page 15: Implementation of a Novel Industrial Robotics Course and its Evaluation by Students](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070601/5885ba231a28ab6f168b5623/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

Discussion on the course experience Hands-on courses on IRs not usual
IRs cost makes difficult to equip laboratories time needed to program and test online solution
practical classes using a COTS simulator Good solution
number of enrolled students growing along the years approval rates consistently high effects of developed programs observed when finished full- or part-time working students
![Page 21: Implementation of a Novel Industrial Robotics Course and its Evaluation by Students](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070601/5885ba231a28ab6f168b5623/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Discussion on the course experience
To improve students increase
attendance in lab classes above initially expected another robot needed for to students test their programs

Conclusions Course on IRs being offered at ISEP
lab classes taught using COTS simulation software
Proved an excellent solution students “see” the effects of developed programs
avoids delays in testing programs in real robots avoids costs associated with robots for practical training
number of enrolled students growing along the years approval rates consistently high
