WLKATA Automobile Assembly Cell
Overview
The WLKATA Automobile Assembly Cell is a car-manufacturing training solution that recreates a smart automotive production line on a benchtop, using two WLKATA Mirobot arms, an AI Vision Set, and a conveyor belt to teach the assembly, control, and vision technologies behind modern vehicle manufacturing. Industrial robots are used more widely in the automotive industry than anywhere else, and this cell brings that environment into the classroom.
Automobile assembly is a comprehensive system that integrates welding, assembly, behavior control, and execution, and the cell models that workflow with two Mirobot arms coordinating over a conveyor belt. The AI Vision Set adds machine perception so the line can identify and respond to parts, while the arms carry out sequenced assembly steps, showing how intelligent control and sensors combine into a smart factory for automobile production.
The cell ships as a ready-to-teach package with the arms, base plate, conveyor belt, AI Vision Set, and accessories, plus a touch-screen control for an approachable operator interface. Blockly, teach-and-play, and Python programming through WLKATA Studio lets students work from drag-and-drop sequencing up to coded, multi-arm control, and the open APIs support deeper project development.

Key Features
- Smart Automotive Line on a Desktop: The cell recreates the assembly, control, and vision workflow of an automotive smart factory using Mirobot arms, an AI Vision Set, and a conveyor belt.
- Multi-Arm Coordination: Two Mirobot arms coordinate over a shared conveyor to teach sequenced assembly and the behavior control behind a real production line.
- Vision-Guided Assembly: The AI Vision Set gives the line machine perception so it can identify and respond to parts during the assembly sequence.
- Touch-Screen Operator Interface: A touch-screen master control provides an approachable way to run and monitor the cell, mirroring real manufacturing operator panels.
- Full Programming Range: Blockly, teach-and-play, and Python through WLKATA Studio let students work from drag-and-drop sequencing up to coded, multi-arm control.
- Ready-to-Teach Package: The cell arrives with the arms, conveyor, vision set, and accessories needed to run structured automotive-manufacturing lessons.
Applications
The Automobile Assembly Cell is a hands-on platform for teaching the robotics behind vehicle assembly, the automotive industry’s largest use of industrial robots. Students learn to sequence and coordinate assembly steps across multiple robotic arms, and the AI Vision Set teaches how machine perception guides assembly and quality tasks.
It suits automotive and manufacturing CTE programs, high-school and university robotics courses, and maker teams that want a ready-to-run solution for coordinated, vision-guided manufacturing. Because it uses standard WLKATA arms and accessories, its components extend into other WLKATA cells and mini production lines.
Setup and Getting Started
- Unbox and inspect: Remove the arms, vision set, conveyor, control box, and accessories, and check for shipping damage.
- Assemble the cell: Mount the two Mirobot arms, conveyor belt, and AI Vision Set on the base plate following the included materials.
- Connect control: Connect the main control box and touch screen, and link the arms and conveyor.
- Install software: Install WLKATA Studio from the WLKATA Download Center and load the provided project files.
- Calibrate: Calibrate the vision camera and the robot coordinate systems.
- Run and extend: Run the assembly sequence, then extend or modify it to build more advanced coordination projects.
