What will you learn about collaborative robots at Wake Tech?

Wake Tech received a generous grant, called Robotics Awake, from the National Science Foundation to work with industry partners to develop a curriculum for operation and programming of collaborative robots for manufacturing. The curriculum will include stackable certificates: Collaborative Robotics Technician and Collaborative Robotics Programmer Technician. NSF Grant DUE: 1700468

Technician Courses:
Study the principles of collaborative robotics, their uses and applications, and proper operation and maintenance through online learning modules and hands-on lab exercises. This fascinating course includes materials from Tooling University On-Line covering topics such as workplace safety; blueprint reading; basics of electrical theory, programmable logic controller theory, and pneumatic theory; robotic connectivity; customer service; and basics of collaborative robotic programming and troubleshooting.

Programmer Course:
Learn a more advanced understanding of robot operations and programming, material handling techniques, technical system components, and 2D integrated robot vision guidance. The Programmer will be able to reteach points, install a program, verify safety functionality, maintain backup, change machine modes, understand floating points, and recover from a crash.
