In an era where automation and intelligent robotics redefine high-tech manufacturing, mastering robotic programming and integration is key to achieving precision, scalability, and efficiency. This course equips engineers and manufacturing professionals with the technical foundations to design, program, and deploy industrial and mobile robotic systems in modern production environments. Through interactive modules and hands-on labs, learners explore the evolution of industrial robotics, key robot types and applications, and the principles of motion control, task sequencing, and sensor integration using classical programming methods such as RAPID, KRL, and Python APIs and robotics programming framework like ROS 2. Participants also examine collaborative and autonomous systems, end-of-arm tooling, and vision-based precision, culminating in advanced integration exercises that introduce ROS 2 as a framework for interoperability.
