This Robotics & Automation course equips learners with a solid foundation in mechanics, electronics, embedded coding, sensors, actuators, and robot control systems.
You will learn how robots perceive the environment, make decisions, and perform actions through programming, automation logic, and real-time control.

The course covers robot kinematics, navigation, IoT connectivity, ROS fundamentals, and industrial automation workflows.
By the end, learners will be able to design, assemble, program, and deploy functional robotic and automation systems.
