Clear Brook High School – 7975 Robotics I (Honors/GT) (CBHS)

Mar 2026 · 2nd Semester

Students enrolled in this course will demonstrate knowledge and skills necessary for the robotics and automation industry. Through implementation of the design process, students will transfer advanced academic skills to component designs in a projectbased environment. Robot topics include history, geometric configuration, component subsystems, robot safety, basic programming and operation, and end effector design. Laboratory work includes the use of industrial robot arms to perform various independent functions such as assembly and material handling processes. Students will build prototypes or use simulation software to test their designs. Students will begin to work with community partners on robotics projects where they will determine problems or needs, conduct research, design, and test possible robotic solutions. This course is a continuation of Robotics I. The course will cover advanced topics which include the integration of robots and CNC machines into manufacturing. Other equipment studied will include motion control devices, such as motors and sensors, use of vision systems and other automation equipment used in manufacturing. Students will continue to work with community partners to develop and manufacture robotics solutions to predetermined community needs. Students will explore career opportunities, employer expectations, and educational needs in the robotics and automation industry.
