Collaborative robots facilitate automation for industrial companies and are designed to work together with humans. They are not a replacement for conventional robotics, but a complement. The course will provide you with the knowledge you need to be able to identify and implement robotic solutions. This course is independent of robot manufacturers.
Collaborative robots and virtual tools
During the course, you will also gain a basic understanding of the field of virtual robotics and how virtual tools such as digital twins, VR and AR can support the development and implementation of collaborative robots. The course will also address ongoing research in the field of collaborative robots, where one of the elements will be to study and analyse research articles.
After completing the course, you will be able to:
- Compare and contrast the advantages and disadvantages of traditional robotic systems compared to collaborative robots,
- describe and discuss the opportunities and benefits of using virtual tools for the development and implementation of collaborative robots,
- describe the current state of technology and research in the field of collaborative robotics and relate this to current and future industrial needs.
Who is the course for?
The course is primarily aimed at individuals from both strategic and operational bodies at small, medium and large industrial companies who are interested in understanding how collaborative robots can support production development.

Course format
The courses in their educational form and scope are intended to be combined with work. This means that all courses are:
- Online
- Short courses (3 ECTS)
- Has a study rate of 20% (equivalent to approximately 8 hours a week for 10 weeks)
- Conducted through self-study as well as occasional scheduled occasions where you get the opportunity to meet other course participants and the course's teachers (these meetings are conducted remotely via Zoom).
The KK Foundation
The course is developed within the WISER project. We offer tailor-made courses for digital transformation and are aimed at professionals. The project is co-financed by the KK foundation within the framework of Expert competence. For more information visit: his.se/wiser
