Course Description:
This course is designed to expose students to the various types of robots and ways they can increase productivity in industrial applications. While these robots can replace low-skilled human tasks, they require people with technical skills to program, operate and maintain them. Upon completion of this course, students will have worked with various types and brands of robots – learning how to program, teach positions, and work safely with these critical elements of modern industry.
Mechatronics courses require previous experience. If you do not have previous experience with mechatronics or advanced technology, it is strongly recommended that the Fundamental courses are taken in the following order: Electricity, Mechanical Systems, Fluid Power, PLC, and Robotics.
