Working Alongside a Cobot
Collaborative robots share a workspace with people, which makes them an operational and behavioural question rather than only a technical one. Hands-on with the daily reality: starting it, guiding it, stopping it, and knowing when not to.
What participants can do afterwards
- Start, guide and safely stop a collaborative robot
- Set up a simple repeatable task and verify it runs correctly
- Recognise the conditions where a cobot should not be used
- Escalate a fault rather than improvising a fix

A facilitator runs the course live, in person or blended. Attendance is taken per session, participants submit work against the modules above, and a facilitator grades it. Those records stay with the organisation and can be exported.
