Subject specific learning outcomes and competences
Students are familiar with the problematics of robotic machining. They are able to estimate a suitable procedure for the production of specific objects and prepare milling strategies in a 3D machining program. They are able to work independently with a machining robot.
Learning objectives
The aim of the course is to acquaint students with the technology of 3D robotic machining and teach them to use this technology to create spatial objects. On the basis of lectures and practical exercises, students should acquire the necessary skills for independent work in the field of robotic machining, and thus broaden their knowledge of the use of other technology in modern sculpture.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
Basic knowledge of working with PC, ability to navigate in virtual space, patience and interest in 3D technologies. Experience with 3D programs (3D Max, Maya, Rhinoceros 3D, SolidWorks, etc.) is welcomed.

Progress assessment
Credit awarded on a basis of attendance (80%) and completion of assigned tasks.
Teaching methods and criteria
A series of lectures accompanied with briefings and practical exercises leading to the acquisition of skills.
Controlled instruction
Active participation in the classes is necessary, so compulsory - teaching will take the form of lectures and exercises, where students divided into groups of two will be encouraged to cooperate on exercise tasks.
