Collaborative Robot Courses

This 1-day training program provides an entry-level introduction to collaborative robotics using the Fairino cobot. Designed for beginners, the course combines theoretical knowledge with practical exercises to equip participants with foundational skills in cobot setup, programming, and integration.

Participants will explore the basics of collaborative robots, including safety protocols, simulation and teach pendant navigation, and simple programming for variable tasks. The course also introduces advanced concepts such as open source programming and vision systems, focusing on their theoretical applications in cobot cells.

By the end of the course, participants will have a comprehensive understanding of cobot operation and the skills to safely and effectively perform basic automation tasks. Each module concludes with a brief assessment to reinforce learning and ensure readiness for real-world applications.
