Requirements

For RobotStudio course, you have to achieve the basic requirement of the RobotStudio software. Please get informed about the minimum system and hardware requirements on the vendor’s page. Regarding of the content of the course, you do not need any former experience or skills.

Description

In this course, the student will learn about the most important and common terms in robotics. It will explain the basics of the robot’s structure, the different types of them, and the parameters that describe an industrial robot. In other words, we will speak about the most common areas where these machines are used.

In the RobotStudio course second part, we will explain how to download and install the software and handle the interface. In the videos, the student will see and understand how to create special models, mechanical units, conveyors, robot tools, and a virtual controller. We learn about the TCP, the system and configuration files, and the basics of programming, like I/O operations, movements, cycles, conditional statements, functions and arrays. It will explain the differences between the variables. In the videos, we define coordinate systems for the robots and show how to set up a multimove system where robots cooperate and work together. Here, the student can also learn how to create a spectacular simulation.

Lastly, through three projects, we show practically how to make a station with a simulation from absolute zero. The projects are downloadable, you can play with it and modify it as you want.

I suggest everyone this course to everyone who has no experiences with RobotStudio and want to learn it. It can show some new features to those who have used it for a while.

Who this course is for:

The course is for those who are interested in the robotics world and would like to learn to use modern robotics software. If you are enthusiastic about the topic of robots and would like to learn how to program them, make spectacular simulations to show your own designed cell capabilities, or just test an existing one, what's more, if you intend to work in this area, this course is for you!
