Module - Robot machines technician for Industry 4.0
The Robot Machines Technician for Industry 4.0 is responsible for setting up, operating, and maintaining robotic machines in industrial settings. They have knowledge of robot components, characteristics, and applications, and can distinguish between advanced and collaborative robots, including their types and the differences from traditional industrial robots. They can program, set up, and monitor industrial robotic arms, perform basic maintenance, and identify risks and safety issues during robot operation. They also understand maintenance indicators and diagnostic techniques to ensure optimal robot performance.

Lesson 2 - Sensors and Actuators
Using digital twins, the use of digital input and output signals connected to the manipulator will be illustrated, with which actuators can be activated, as well as reading information from sensors.
The setup will include a parts feeder and a conveyor belt. The feeder will be actuated with an output signal in such a way that it will tip a part onto the conveyor belt. The conveyor belt shall be activated so that the part moves, until it reaches a barrier sensor located at the end of the belt. When the sensor is activated, the conveyor belt shall stop, and the manipulator shall pick it up and carry it to its destination position.
