Robotics & Automation (Class 8)
Master Industrial Automation Cells, Sensor Integration, AGVs, State-Driven Navigation, E-Stop Safety, Smart Factory IIoT, and Workflow Automation in Class 8!
Course Chapters & Learning Modules
Total 10 interactive modules with guided checkpoint challenges.
Module 1 — Industrial Automation
Learn how machines, sensors, programmable controllers, actuators, and human operators combine in industrial automated cells.
Module 2 — Sensor Integration
Connect and calibrate robot sensors: proximity, optical encoders, limit switches, analog force transducers, noise filtration, and fault handling.
Module 3 — AGV Basics
Explore Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs): chassis layouts, drive motors, path guidance (magnetic tape, QR codes, LiDAR), obstacle safety fields, and payload mechanics.
Module 4 — State-Driven Navigation
Model robotic behavior with Finite State Machines (FSMs): states (IDLE, MOVING, BLOCKED, CHARGING), transitions, guard conditions, and priority safety interrupts.
Module 5 — Emergency Stop Safety
Master functional safety engineering: Emergency Stop (E-Stop) circuitry, safety relays, difference between normal and emergency stopping, interlocks, and manual reset protocols.
Module 6 — Smart Factory
Connect production floors: Industrial IoT (IIoT), predictive maintenance, machine vibration telemetry, bottleneck analysis, and industrial cybersecurity.
Module 7 — Workflow Automation
Map end-to-end industrial processes: triggers, conditions, robotic actions, FIFO buffers, exception handling, timeouts, and human approval checkpoints.
Module 8 — Real-World Robotics Use
Analyze robotics across sectors: repetitive/hazardous tasks, human-robot collaboration (Cobots), teleoperation, environmental uncertainty, and ethical workforce impacts.
Module 9 — Factory Robot Project
Build an end-to-end factory robot prototype: requirements definition, system schematics, state machines, obstacle stops, delivery workflows, and acceptance criteria.
Module 10 — Combined Revision & Test
Synthesize industrial automation, sensor integration, AGVs, state machines, E-Stop safety, smart factories, workflows, and complete the 10-question Checkpoint Quiz.
