Technologies, means and methods, socio-economic issues related with different domains are presented and discussed. In greater detail, design and development techniques are proposed for intelligent flexible automation of industrial production systems with a view to Factory 4.0. AIMS AND CONTENT LEARNING OUTCOMES This course provides a general intersectoral introduction to applications, scopes and development of flexible automation, including robotics, for industrial and non-industrial sectors. Technologies, means and methods, socio-economic issues related with different domains are presented and discussed. In greater detail, design and development techniques are proposed for intelligent flexible automation of industrial production systems with a view to Factory 4.0. AIMS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES The educational target is to make students aware of the involved means and methods, technologies, and of the socio-economic issues related with the subject. The scope, to be achieved, covers the definition of the scenarios and of the different cooperating resources including robots and cyber-physical machines. After completing this course the students will be able to: achieve good acquaintance of problems of flexible automation and about the role played in the industrial, economical and social context. exploit the concepts, language and the tools understood along with the course. PREREQUISITES No prerequisites TEACHING METHODS The students will be involved to discuss and work with the aim to learn and enhance their knowledge about the different topics of the intelligent automation techniques.
