Master the course with just 8 Modules

The course begins with an introduction to industrial robotics, tracing its evolution and exploring robot types, including collaborative systems. Learners study mechatronic design principles that integrate mechanical, electrical, and fluid subsystems, followed by the design and kinematics of robotic manipulators and end effectors. The program emphasizes sensor and transducer integration for feedback, electro-hydraulic drive systems for motion control, and machine vision for object detection and recognition. It further explores the role of IIoT in robotics for real-time monitoring and communication, while MATLAB-Simulink is used for control system modeling, simulation, and troubleshooting.
