Course Objectives: This course aims to:

• Introduce the robot’s principles, parts, and programming. 
• Teach how robots perform tasks. 
• Teach forward and inverse kinematic calculations.
• Teach how to design a 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.

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.
