Announcement: Workshop on Introduction to Industrial Robot Programming

The IEEE Industrial Electronics Society (IES), Windsor Section, is pleased to host a hands-on workshop titled "Introduction to Industrial Robot Programming" at the University of Windsor’s Mechatronics Lab.

Led by Dr. Saeed Mozaffari, this workshop will cover essential topics in industrial robotics, including hardware overview, task preparation, program creation, and real-world applications such as stacking and palletizing. Participants will gain valuable skills in robot programming and optimization.

This event is part of IEEE Week, and we encourage students, professionals, and enthusiasts to join us.

For additional information, please contact:

  • Chair: Armita Fatemimoghadam
  • Vice Chair: Hadi Mohajerani

This workshop provides a hands-on introduction to the fundamentals of programming industrial robots. Participants will gain an understanding of robot hardware, control systems, and key concepts such as tool center points (TCP) and task preparation. Through interactive sessions, attendees will learn how to create and optimize robot programs, control motion types, and interact with external devices like sensors and conveyors. The workshop will also cover program flow using variables, if-else logic, and subprograms, with real-world applications such as stacking and palletizing tasks.

By the end of the workshop, participants will be equipped with the foundational skills needed to program and optimize industrial robots for various applications.
