No longer offered. It’s in Waterloo’s scanned calendars from 1991–92 to 1994–95 (before that, 1987–88 to 1990–91 used the number for Automation and Robotics); the 1995–96 to 2023–24 calendars are on ucalendar.
In this course, a selection of aspects of Computer integrated Manufacturing are studied. The functional elements of Numerically Controlled machines and robots. Robot kinematics and programming. Machine vision and image processing. Introduction to Computer Aided Design, computer graphics and Computer Aided Manufacturing. Data transmission, local area networks, Manufacturing Automation Protocol. Flexible Manufacturing; cell control structures and data bases. Group Technology, classification and coding, composite parts, Computer Aided Process Planning.
As printed in the 1991–92 to 1994–95 calendars, read by OCR; the scanned page is the original. Later calendars (1995–96 on) aren’t on uwloo.

Another title: Automation and Robotics, probably a different course under the same number (or a misread scan).
The principles of automatic machinery and computer controlled industrial processes. Introduction of automation to the workplace and its impact on production, costs and labour. Computer modelling of the production process. Review of robot types, their characteristics and sensor technology related to their use. Industrial process control, the use of computers and programmable controllers in industrial environments. Case studies in automatic machine design, component feeders and parts handling.
