Robotics Safety

Robotics Safety (excerpt):

Robots often perform tasks that would be difficult, impossible, unpleasant or unsafe for workers to perform directly. They are not always able to differentiate between workers and the work they are performing, so we must use care around them to remain safe. Take this course to learn about the characteristics of robots, the potential hazards they present, the safety programs that go into their design and integration, and precautions you should take around them. This course is ideal for anyone who may encounter or work with robots.
