Design and Implementation of a Practical Learning Methodology for the Control and Programming of a Flexible Manufacturing Cell

In this work, the design and implementation of a set of practical activities in a flexible manufacturing cell is exposed, as well as the teaching methodology used, both in programming cell manually (guided programming) or remotely (off-line, using simulation software). These activities have been designed for a progressive learning, starting with simple tasks, like programming a robot arm movement between different points in space, and concluding with more complex tasks, such as programming of palletizing cycles or manufacturing a part by machining.
