Objetivos
Know how to design, install and perform maintenance on automatic production systems.
Know and know how to use the most common technologies in automation, robotics and automatic control.
Have skills in the programming bases of Automata and Robot Manipulators.
Resultados de aprendizagem e competências
At the end of the UC students should know the constitution of an Automatic System, its structure and functioning and the different technologies used, namely pneumatic and electrical and the interfaces between the Automats and the processes. They must know how to use the design methodologies of sequential systems and describe the operation through a graphic language - GRAFCET.
The trainee should know the constitution of a Programmable Automaton and its applicability in the control of a fde Production system related to Aeronautics
Students should know the different types of manipulator robots.
At the end of the uc, they should have acquired skills in robot and automaton programming in different types of tasks and know the principles of safety in their use.

Fórmula de cálculo da classificação final
The final grade (NF) is calculated considering a weight of 70% for the theoretical assessment grade (NT) and 30% for the laboratory assessment grade (NL).
NF = 0.7*NT + 0.3NL;
It is mandatory that each of these components have a score greater than or equal to 9.5 values.
