Cobot Project

Prototyping a Process

Let's use our cobot skills to prototype a process. This will be a team effort — teams of two or three.

Learning Objectives

• Demonstrate skills programming the cobot

• Demonstrate an understanding of the cobot capabilities

• Develop a prototype process that investigates the feasibility of an idea.

Instructions

A challenge will be presented to teams that involves packaging products into a container in an efficient and repeatable manner.

1. Brainstorm Solutions to the Challenge

• Determine the resources need to demonstrate the idea What additional materials will you need? Are they attainable or easily constructed?

• Develop a plan for execution This could be a combination of a simple outline, drawing, and/or diagram. Use paper or whiteboard (take a photo).

2. Implement the Plan

• Implement, step-wise, your plan Once you have the needed materials. Test your plan in chunks. Experiment as needed.

• Refine your solution Consider how to make your solution more robust and elegant.

3. Prepare to Present your Prototype Process

• Determine how the team can contribute Get everybody involved in a short demonstration.
