The course is to help emerging robotics professionals understand the role of standards
ASTM International has released a free introductory eLearning course on robotics standards. The course aims to help emerging robotics professionals understand the role of standards in the field
The course will include five modules:
- Why Robot Standards Matter
- Core Standards of Industrial & Collaborative Robots
- Mobile Robots and Automated Mobile Robots (AMRs)
- Emerging Standards – Humanoids & Service Robots, and
- Compliance, Certification & Future Trends
As a whole, the course will cover everything from case studies, safety overviews, and explorations of what future robotics standards could entail. Participants in the course will complete review questions and can take an online quiz to earn a digital badge, enabling them to share their achievement.
Aaron Prather, director of robotics and autonomous systems programs at ASTM International, said, “The online and free course will give everyone a baseline of knowledge to start from. Our goal is to fill a gap with students and young roboticists entering the field and give them a way to understand what the key standards are and why they are there.”
Schools and organisations that are interested are able to securely integrate this online course into their learning management systems by working with the ASTM OnDemand Solutions team. This enables organisations to utilise the training tool in their own systems for convenient assignment and reporting. The course will also automatically update for all learners when the course is revised, as an added feature.
