2. Be able to program an industrial robot using simulation software (offline programming)

3. Understand robot cells/workstations and be able to implement safety measures
Content
This course divided into four parts. In the first part will give an overview of industrial robots basic components and structures. Part 2 depicts principles and methods of programming robots. Part 3 describes industry robotisation and robots workstations. The final part touches the safety of industrial robots and cobots.
In this course, we will explore Arm construction and drives, Coordinates systems (BASE • TOOL • TCP • Part frame/User frame/Working frame), programming methods (Online • Offline), Robotized workstations/cells, risk assessments of robotic cells and standardizations/normalizations.

• Introduction to industrial robotics
• Basic components of industrial robot systems
• Structure of industrial robots
• Collaborative, non-collaborative, and mobile industrial robot applications
• Industrial robot’s motion
• Methods of programming robots
• Hazards associated with industrial robot applications
• Safety considerations for employers and workers
• Risk assessments
• Risk reduction measures
• Applicable industry standards for industrial robot system safety
