Course Description
The Fourth Industrial Revolution promises a societal shift where robots will become part of our daily lives. In this 3-day workshop, the participants will learn robotics, the principles of work, the parts, the brain, and their assembly, in addition to robot programming. The course is supported by a DIY project. 

Course Objectives
This course aims to:

• Introduce robot’s principles, parts, and programming. 
• Teach how robots  perform tasks. 
• Teach  forward and inverse kinematic calculations.
• Teach  how to design robot’s workspace.
• Teach robots programming using ROS/Python/Scratch.
• Help participants use a real industrial robot.

Course Outcomes
At the end of the course, the participants should be able to:

• Describe the different physical forms of robot architectures.
• Compute forward and inverse kinematics for industrial robots.
• Design robot workspace.
• Programme industrial robots.
• Use a real industrial robot.

Who should Attend?
This course is suited for

• Engineers (Electrical, Mechanical, Software, Computer, and  Cechatronics). 
• University students (Engineering, Science, and Education).
• Technicians (with basic knowledge of  math and programming).

Training Strategies

The following training strategies will be adopted for this course:

• This course is taught as a mixture between standard lectures and practical sessions. Lecture notes are posted on the website before the class starts. Classroom activities will comprise an implementation of the gained information on a real industrial robot. 
• There is no exam or evaluation at the end of the course. 

Delivery Plan

• Robots in general, robot types, robot applications, robot architecture, sensors, actuators, robot brain, robot programming, and industrial robots (day 1). 
• Workspace, forward and inverse kinematics (day 2). 
• Industrial robot  programming, ROS, Python, and Scratch (day 3).
