Course Details

Applied Robotics

This robotic fundamentals course aims to provide you with basic knowledge of key robotic concepts and their role in industrial manufacturing. The course breakdown is as follows. First, the core robotic principles along with a brief history of the industrial revolution is presented. The topics covered will enable you to classify different types of robots and identify various robot based on their function. Second, we will provide you with fundamentals about the power and movement systems for basic robotic functioning within the manufacturing industry. Next, we will introduce you to different types of sensors, their working and applications. This will be followed by an explanation of computer systems used in robot controllers. Basic high-level programming concepts such as syntax and application logic gates will be presented. We also will elaborate on the importance of maintenance and a systematic approach to problem solving for robotic system applications. Finally, scenarios and possible applications for robots will be discussed to provide you with ideas of what to expect in your careers as robotic systems engineers.
