Industrial Automation Training in Massachusetts

This course introduces the student to the basics of Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC). After the discussion of the fundamental concept of PLCs the basic Ladder Diagram instructions are learned and practiced in Industrial Automation tasks. Audience - Electrical Specialists - Mechanical Engineers - Programmers with interest in Industrial Automation

Automation Engineers, Passionates who would like to create their own intelligent home etc.

A Smart Robot is an Artificial Intelligence (AI) system that can learn from its environment and its experience and build on its capabilities based on that knowledge. Smart Robots can collaborate with humans, working along-side them and learning from their behavior. Furthermore, they have the capacity for not only manual labor, but cognitive tasks as well. In addition to physical robots, Smart Robots can also be purely software based, residing in a computer as a software application with no moving parts or physical interaction with the world. In this instructor-led, live training, participants will learn the different technologies, frameworks and techniques for programming different types of mechanical Smart Robots, then apply this knowledge to complete their own Smart Robot projects. The course is divided into 4 sections, each consisting of three days of lectures, discussions, and hands-on robot development in a live lab environment. Each section will conclude with a practical hands-on project to allow participants to practice and demonstrate their acquired knowledge. The target hardware for this course will be simulated in 3D through simulation software. The ROS (Robot Operating System) open-source framework, C++ and Python will be used for programming the robots. By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Understand the key concepts used in robotic technologies
• Understand and manage the interaction between software and hardware in a robotic system
• Understand and implement the software components that underpin Smart Robots
• Build and operate a simulated mechanical Smart Robot that can see, sense, process, grasp, navigate, and interact with humans through voice
• Extend a Smart Robot's ability to perform complex tasks through Deep Learning
• Test and troubleshoot a Smart Robot in realistic scenarios

Audience

• Developers
• Engineers

Format of the course

• Part lecture, part discussion, exercises and heavy hands-on practice
