Robotics and Automation Course

About Course

A Robotics and Automation course focuses on the principles, tools, and technologies used to design, build, and operate robots and automated systems. It covers a broad range of topics including mechanical design, electrical control systems, programming, sensor integration, artificial intelligence (AI), and the application of robotics in industries like manufacturing, healthcare, and service automation. The course prepares students to understand both the theoretical foundations and the practical applications of robotics, and it often includes hands-on experience with building and programming robots.

This course aims to develop students’ abilities to design, implement, and troubleshoot automated systems that can perform tasks traditionally done by humans, improving efficiency, precision, and scalability in various industries.
