Robotics Lab

Welcome to the Robotics Laboratory at CSU Pueblo!

The following pages describe a number of Industrial Robots available in this lab. For each robot, you can find a brief description, a How-To tutorial illustrating start-up and shut-down procedures as well as simple programming examples, and, possibly, an interactive session ( local/robot lab) allowing you to control the robot remotely and watch the robot arm carry out your instructions. This last option is not always enabled. Call your instructor for more information on this laboratory.

Our Robots
