For our CRP1 – 1st semester project – we were to implement a robot in the production layout.
We chose to use the robot to do the electrical test for the extension cord. The robot checked for continuity in the electrical circuit. If it detected an error, a message with an error code would appear on a screen to inform the worker which error was found. A custom designed continuity tester, that could be handled the robot, was developed.
This tester consisted of two parts which both were connected directly to the robots control inputs.
