Robotics Essentials

Star Robotics Essentials

Robotics is playing a crucial role in advancing automation across industries. The integration of robotics with artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, and computer vision enables robots to perform complex tasks with greater autonomy and adaptability. This trend is revolutionizing manufacturing, logistics, agriculture, healthcare, and other sectors, increasing efficiency, productivity, and safety.

Skilled roboticists are in high demand and can pursue roles as robotics engineers, researchers, programmers, technicians, or entrepreneurs in the robotics industry. The Star Robotics Essentials Certification program aims to help the learner acquire an understanding of robotics including designing, prototyping, analysis, basic Robot Operating System (ROS), electronic circuitry, control system, etc. The program covers – History of robotics, Robot Components, principles of robot motion, robot control methods, ROS (Robot Operating System), and more.

Audience: Beginners in either IT or non-IT domains who possess limited or no prior knowledge of Robotics may benefit from this. Familiarity with IT Essentials, mathematics, and basic programming skills is preferre
