Title: Identify components of robotic systems.
Course: Technology of Robotic Design (21009-18) > Section: Exploring the Components of Robotic Systems

Identification should include

- structural components
- power source
- lighted power switch (covered or lockout-capable in off position)
- beepers and lights on axis movement
- object detection in movement direction, auto-slowdown
- control system
- switches/fuses/circuit breakers for circuit isolation and disabling motion control while leaving the CPU and human machine interface (HMI) active.

Process/Skill Questions:

- What role do notification components have in creating safe use of a robotic system?
- What are pinch points?
- Why is it important to include notification components in a robotic system?
- Why should motion control be disabled when the CPU and HMI are active?
- What are some safety considerations of a wheeled system?
