George Brown College Technical Training is proud to present an updated version of the Robotics Technician online certificate program. The program provides a basic introduction to the theory and practice of using industrial robots in manufacturing. This new edition of the program has been enriched with an additional learning module on Autonomous Robots and an upgraded version of the simulation software, RoboLogix.
A new module on Autonomous Robots
One of the most interesting features of this update to the Robotics program is the added module on autonomous robots. Autonomous robots are one of the fastest-growing sectors in the industry, with an increasing number of commercial and industrial applications. They are currently used in large warehouses to sort, stack and retrieve items and are the primary transportation mode in large automated manufacturing facilities. The new generation of autonomous robots will likely be more or entirely autonomous, but they will use the same principles of control systems. Over the last few years, there have been significant developments in the field of biped (walking) and quadruped (crawling) robots, which has implications for exciting opportunities for robots that can walk, run or fly.
