Industry Visit

Dated on : 22nd January 2020, Venue: Yaskawa Robot Facility at AGIIT, Coimbatore

The students of II B. Tech Robotics and Automation had the opportunity to visit the Yaskawa Robot Facility at AGIIT, Coimbatore. The team comprised of 30 students accompanied by two faculty members, Dr. P. Annatha Christu raj and Dr. L. D. Vijay Anand. The students were given hands on training on the GP-12 Yaskawa robot.

The Visit started with an Orientation Session on the basics of robots that was handled by ___ from AGIIT. Later, the team was taken to the robot factroy where the working of the robot was demonstrated and hands-on-training was also provided to teahc the robot the path to be followed using the teach pendant. As students were already enlightened about the simulation software (Robostudio ABB 12.1.2/MotoSimEG4.0) in their previous workshops held in college, it was easy to identify the working of the robot.
