How you'll learn
100% online training on the SEIUM campus, with downloadable material, recorded classes and an assigned technical tutor. No fixed timetables: students progress at their own pace within the enrolment period, which makes it possible to combine study with work.
Each module combines theory, guided reading of the original standard and applied exercises. The working software is Universal Robots PolyScope, FANUC CRX Tablet TP, KUKA iiQKA.OS, Doosan Robotics DART-Studio, SICK Safety Designer, in free, academic or evaluation versions. Tests are studied using real procedures for measuring forces in shared workstations, validation of configured safety functions and studies on balancing mixed lines. Assessment is continuous by module, plus the final integrating project.

Your final project follows the real engineering workflow, step by step, reviewed by your tutor.
Design mixed workstations with human-robot task allocation.
Program cobots using touch interfaces and demonstration.
Implement advanced tasks with force control.
Configure the cobot's safety functions.
Assess the risks of shared workstations online.
