Description
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to configure and program a basic robotic system.
It requires the ability to configure and program for typical tasks for basic robotic system operation which includes pick and place, motion and navigation. Code development will include testing code and producing code to control the robotic system.
The unit applies to a person preparing for further study and/or employment in the manufacturing, engineering and related industries such as an apprenticeship.
No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

Elements and Performance Criteria
Plan the configuration and programming of a basic robotic system
- 1.1 Relevant occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements and safe work practices for engineering work environment are identified and applied
- 1.2 Routine tasks that can be performed by a robotic system are analysed and discussed with trainer/supervisor
- 1.3 Robotic system configuration and programming requirements are determined from documentation, construction briefs and confirmed with trainer/supervisor
- 1.4 Hand tools and equipment required for the construction and programming task are identified and accessed
Configure and program a robotic system
- 2.1 Robotic system is assembled in accordance with manufacturers’ instructions and safe work practices
- 2.2 Robotic system is configured and programmed for the intended tasks in accordance to manufacturer’s instructions
- 2.3 Robotic system is tested for correct operation and, if required, systematic fault finding is applied to identify and rectified hardware and/or software malfunction/s
- 2.4 Decisions for dealing with unexpected situations are made from discussions with trainer/supervisor and job specifications
Verify and document robotic system
- 3.1 Robotic system overall function and requirements are verified, documented and information stored in accordance with workplace requirements
- 3.2 Trainer/supervisor is informed of the completed robotic system and provided with a demonstration of its operation
- 3.3 Hand tools and equipment used to assemble, configuration and program the robotic system are maintained and stored in accordance with workplace procedure
