Robotics Basic is an introductory course that provides a structured, hands-on overview of industrial robotics. Over 13 compact modules, learners explore the mechanical, electrical, and digital components that make up modern robotic systems.

You will learn what defines a robot, how different robot types are classified, and how they are used in industrial environments. The course covers robot kinematics, motion strategies (PTP, CP, CIRC), drive systems, end effectors, and measurement technologies. Special focus is placed on human-robot collaboration, programming principles, and practical safety in accordance with international standards such as the EU Machinery Directive and ISO 10218. Each module includes real-world examples, visual aids, and short quizzes to reinforce learning. The course concludes with a graded final quiz. Prerequisites: No prior experience with robotics is required. Basic technical understanding and familiarity with industrial or mechanical concepts are helpful but not mandatory. Comfort with using a computer and navigating online learning platforms will support a smooth learning experience. Target Audience: This course is ideal for technicians, engineering students, early-career professionals, and anyone interested in automation and robotics. By the end of the course, you will be able to understand, evaluate, and apply the key principles of robotics in a modern industrial context.
