Collaborative Robots (cobots) are a relatively new form of robot that can be operated in shared environments with humans. Unlike traditional industrial robots, cobots are much more agile and flexible in their utilisation due to the reduced safety and infrastructure requirements. This makes cobots an exciting technology for companies and industries looking to adopt automation, reduce risk of injury and upscale processes.
This microcredential introduces cobots, including technical concepts, safety and ethical considerations, and hands-on programming. Participants will learn about the benefits and capabilities of cobots, equipping them with the knowledge to be able to choose an appropriate cobot for a given application, considering factors such as performance and safety. By the end of this course, participants will be able to choose appropriate cobots and program them to perform tasks.
This microcredential will equip participants with the skills to begin their cobot journey, allowing them to:
This course aligns with the 2-credit point subject, Basic Programming and Use of Collaborative Robots (42218) in a number of postgraduate offerings. For the full list of courses, see "Microcredential subject alignment" below in the "Additional course information" section.
This microcredential may qualify for recognition of prior learning at this and other institutions.
A digital badge and certificate will be awarded upon successful completion of the relevant assessment requirements and attainment of learning outcomes of the microcredential.

The following content will be covered during the microcredential:
Module 1: Introduction to Cobots
The first module introduces the fundamentals of robots and cobots, their operation within industry systems and support understanding of their product specifications.
Module 2: Cobot Safety and Ethics
Module 2 explores safety considerations of cobots. It will briefly introduce risks when using robots and safety operating procedures.
Module 3: Programming Cobots
In this module, you learn the basics of cobot programming, explore different motion types and dive into programming by demonstration.
Module 4: Hands on with Cobots
In this module, you have the opportunity to come into the robotics lab at UTS to program a cobot arm to perform a specific task.
Participants will learn how to:
Assessment criteria: the two assessment tasks guide participants from designing cobot systems to programming a cobot for a specific task.
Participants must achieve an overall grade of 50 per cent or more in order to pass the microcredential.
