Advanced Programming and Use of Collaborative Robots

Micro-credential

Collaborative robots or ‘cobots’ are robots that can operate safely alongside and even with human workers and are predominantly used for basic repetitive tasks.

Accurate programming of the cobots is crucial to the success of the cobots carrying out these tasks effectively and safely. This micro-credential builds on basic programming skills learnt through the Basic Programming and Use of Collaborative Robots micro-credential and will provide learners with a deeper understanding of more advanced programming techniques.

What you will learn

Upon completion of this micro-credential, learners will be able to:

program cobots, using both offline and online programming, to perform a wide array of motions and functions in executing industry-relevant complex tasks
troubleshoot and solve challenges associated with the utilisation of cobots, including complex path planning, singularity avoidance, and safety
integrate a cobot with peripheral equipment to form part of a larger system
utilise end-of-arm-tooling to perform physical operations such as materials handing
awareness of the technology that underlies cobot systems, including sensing, actuation and control, to gain a deeper appreciation of robotics technologies.
