Course Details
Basic Robotics
This robotic fundamental course aims to provide you with supplemental knowledge of key robotic concepts and their role within the manufacturing environment. The course begins with an introduction to the core robotic principles along with a brief history of the industrial revolution. The topics covered will enable you to classify different types of robots and identify various robots based on their function. This is followed by the power and motion systems for basic industrial robots. This will give you an overview of different electrical motors, the differences between the types of motors, the various types of grippers and the mechanical motions that enable robots to function. Finally, the different types of sensors, their working and applications will be covered that enable robots to complete manufacturing tasks.
Recommended Prerequisites
