Fundamentals of Robotics

Fundamentals of Robotics is introduction to industrial robots, provides students the capability to operate, maintain, program and test robotic systems. Featuring 3D robotic simulation, the curriculum can be delivered virtually or as a lab with an industrial robotic arm.

DESCRIPTION

Duration: approx 16 hrs

Fundamentals of Robotics course provides students the fundamental skills needed to operate, maintain, program and test robotic systems. The course uses RoboCell, a 3D-solid modeling robotic simulation software, that allows students to develop programming skills through a variety of simulated robotic workcells.

Fundamental of Robotics can be used with different robots including the Scorbot ER-4U and MotoMan Robots. When taught with the MotoMan Robots, this is the base training for students to complete the “Certified Robotic Operator” certification.

Below is a video showing the robot simulation in RoboCell that is used to teach programming before moving to the physical robot to perform the curriculum Skill Drills.
