This thesis was made for the faculty of technology at Lahti University of Applied Sciences. The aim was to develop a robot cell for the training of machine vision and robot programming.

The work included electrical design and manufacturing the robot control unit for connecting external equipment to the robot. Electrical design was done with the CADS Planner software. The user interface for processing information between the machine vision camera and the robot was designed using the Visual Studio 2010 software platform and the C# programming language. A software that utilizes location information generated by the machine vision was designed and implemented with IVC- studio software.

As a result of this study, a new robotics learning environment with software that uses location information produced by machine vision and interface for PC was created. An electric board to be connected to robot I/O connections for connecting auxiliary equipment was also built as well as control center wiring diagrams.
