DESCRIPTION:Announcement: Workshop on Introduction to Industrial Robot Prog
 ramming\n\nThe IEEE Industrial Electronics Society (IES)\, Windsor Section
 \, is pleased to host a hands-on workshop titled &quot;Introduction to Industri
 al Robot Programming&quot; at the University of Windsor’s Mechatronics Lab.\n
 \nLed by Dr. Saeed Mozaffari\, this workshop will cover essential topics i
 n industrial robotics\, including hardware overview\, task preparation\, p
 rogram creation\, and real-world applications such as stacking and palleti
 zing. Participants will gain valuable skills in robot programming and opti
 mization.\n\nThis event is part of IEEE Week\, and we encourage students\,
  professionals\, and enthusiasts to join us.\n\nFor additional information
 \, please contact:\n\n- Chair: Armita Fatemimoghadam\n- Vice Chair: Hadi M
 ohajerani\n\nThis workshop provides a hands-on introduction to the fundame
 ntals of programming industrial robots. Participants will gain an understa
 nding of robot hardware\, control systems\, and key concepts such as tool 
 center points (TCP) and task preparation. Through interactive sessions\, a
 ttendees will learn how to create and optimize robot programs\, control mo
 tion types\, and interact with external devices like sensors and conveyors
 . The workshop will also cover program flow using variables\, if-else logi
 c\, and subprograms\, with real-world applications such as stacking and pa
 lletizing tasks.\n\nBy the end of the workshop\, participants will be equi
 pped with the foundational skills needed to program and optimize industria
 l robots for various applications.\n\nSpeaker(s): Dr. Saeed Mozaffari\, Dr
