Robotics Health and Safety (MADE) - REBOOT
"Robotics Health and Safety" is a 1-day course, designed by MADE Competence Centre in the framework of the REBOOT project. Its aim is to provide a general introduction to the main robot programming strategies and the role of autonomous systems on the world of work.
The REBOOT (Rebooting manufacturing industry with digitalisation skill development) project aims to make digital upskilling opportunities available and accessible to employees in small and medium-sized organisations (SMEs) in the manufacturing sector. Advanced digital skills courses are available in key areas for manufacturing like Robotics, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Cybersecurity and Industrial Internet of Things (IoT). The project is funded under the DIGITAL Europe Programme of the European Union.
About this course
The course takes place all-day on 22 October 2025. Course topics include:
- General introduction robot programming strategies: Hardcoded, Simulation, Programming-by-Demonstration, Skill-based programming;
- Introduction to skill-based programming: SkiROS and a hands-on session on teaching new skills
- Introduction to digital assistant framework on top of SkiROS and hands-on session on intuitive human-robot interaction
Participants will also learn about the impact of robotics on the health and safety of workers as well as the effects of the digital transformation. Other areas the course dives into include: prevention through design 4.0, technological evolutions in wearable devices and communication technologies, digital twinning for health and safety, and others.
