In session now: Your online training in robotics
Today’s increasingly capable and cost-effective robotic technologies do more than simply produce and transport things. They help bridge labor shortages and skills gaps, and supply chain inefficiencies as well.
The one thing industrial robots cannot do is maintain themselves. That requires human technicians, and particularly robot techs empowered with the knowledge, confidence, and initiative that comes with automation training.
Seasoned and new technicians alike often struggle with the fundamental concepts of automation. Providing a strong foundation of knowledge in basic robotics increases workers’ self-reliance, improves job satisfaction, spurs further professional development, and builds more cohesive teams.

The fundamentals of robotics begin with BizLink
Available only from BizLink, the Fundamentals of Robotics is an approximately eight-hour, self-guided online course designed to provide new and experienced robotic technicians with the foundational knowledge they need to excel and grow as part of an automation team.
Online self-paced training is recognized as the most effective way to introduce and refresh fundamental concepts. It is certainly more convenient for employees, as it allows them to access coursework wherever and whenever the opportunity arises.
BizLink further enhances its online coursework with highly interactive elements to maximize student engagement and retention. The instruction in automation technology taught by the Fundamentals of Robotics course aims to improve overall performance before and after new employees’ launch training.
The course’s personalized learning paths, however, benefit more advanced participants as well, and ensure your entire team completes the course with a consistent baseline grasp of industrial robotics.
BizLink’s jam-packed introduction to industrial robotics
BizLink designed its online training course to bring students quickly up to speed on the basic principles they need to begin programming, training, and interacting with industrial robots. It introduces students to the fundamentals of industrial automation — from common components of a six-axis fully articulated robot to movement of the system to the basics of programming robotic systems. Each lesson is followed by knowledge check questions that confirm students have assimilated key points on industrial robotics.
The duration of the course may vary depending on a participant’s knowledge and learning pace. But, on average, it takes students six to seven hours to complete. Students who achieve a passing grade of 75% or better on the final course assessment receive a certificate of completion and the confidence they can become a valuable contributor to your industrial automation team.
Available to anyone with a computer and an internet connection, the course consists of six educational modules. Each module includes several lessons to break the topic into smaller parts and employs multiple modes of learning, including text, videos, and virtual lab activities.
Here’s a look at what students will learn in each module:
Introduction to robotic systems
What makes a robot a robot? There are many categories of robot, but they all share certain things in common.
The first module in BizLink’s online Fundamentals in Robotics course provides a broad overview, highlighting the most common types of industrial robots, including fully articulated six-axis robot arms, SCARA robots, and collaborative robots. Students will also discover the benefits of robotic systems in this module as well as common industrial applications, such as material handling, machine loading, welding, and dispensing.
Robot arm components
In BizLink’s second module, students will become familiar with the arm components of a typical six-axis robot, as well as the most common configuration of these fully articulated systems. Students will also gain a working knowledge of each major mechanical, electrical, and electro-mechanical component in the system and how they work together to carry out a desired task.
Robot controls
Though able to operate autonomously, robots still require sophisticated controls. The robot control panel provides a user-friendly interface for basic robot operation. Learning about common controller components and what they do will help your employees gain a fundamental understanding of how an overall robot system functions.

Basics of robotic motion
There are five different ways users can move or manipulate the robotic system through the teach pendant; these are known as jogging systems. In this module, students will not only learn the basics of robot motion and the various types of jogging systems, but they will also take a closer look at the JOINT jogging system of the six-axis robot.
Principles of cartesian motion
Cartesian motion is the coordinated movement of all robot motors that allows a robot’s end-of-arm tooling to move along or around an X, Y, or Z axis. Students will learn how a six-axis robot uses Cartesian motion principles when the WORLD jogging system is selected. They will also learn about both linear and reorientation travel direction and how they are applied while jogging the robot.
Programming robots for work
Programming provides the instructions that allow robots to execute a task. Students will learn about the various robot execution modes and how each mode should be used while operating the robot in manual and automatic mode. They will also learn about robot programs — including program flow, subprograms, types of instructions used in a program, and how to step forward and backward through a program.
