120-Hour Certificate
Robotics & Automation Technician Certificate
A protected browser-only program outline covering safety, ROS 2 concepts, controls, perception, deployment planning, and capstone handoff.
What students learn
The seven-module technician sequence covers safety discipline, robot operation, ROS 2 and simulation, hardware and PLC integration, computer vision and navigation, edge deployment, and capstone handoff.
Time commitment
120 hours. Recommended delivery: 48 curriculum simulation hours (40%) using protected browser-only synthetic fixtures/simulations and 72 online/project hours (60%).
Prerequisites
No prior robotics or coding experience required. Students should be ready to practice, document their work, and use protected browser-only fixtures.
Tools and technologies
ROS 2 and Gazebo concepts, Python basics, controls concepts, cameras, OpenCV, object detection, navigation, Docker, and edge deployment planning.
Projects
Protected browser-only simulation, synthetic controls and perception scenarios, documentation, and a non-production capstone outline.
Career and business outcomes
Entry-level robotics technician preparation, automation support skills, AI workflow competence, portfolio demos, and local employer visibility.
Delivery format
Coursework uses protected browser-only synthetic fixtures and simulations. It provides no live robot/runtime/production authority.
Next cohort date
September 8 - November 30, 2026 founding cohort. Founding cohort limited to 20 seats.
Tuition
The $2,950 USD tuition figure is a planning fixture, not an enabled paid sale. Staff approval is required for coursework access.
120 hours / 12 weeks
A bounded course sequence built for practice and proof.
RoboVoTech is structured as a 120-hour, 12-week program: 48 curriculum simulation hours (40%) using protected browser-only synthetic fixtures/simulations and 72 online/project hours (60%). It provides no live robot/runtime/production authority.
1. Foundations & Safety Orientation: safety, documentation, and technician foundations.
2. Industrial Safety & Robot Hazard Control: hazard recognition, safeguarding awareness, and stop-work concepts.
3. Robot Fundamentals & ROS 2 Operations: browser-only system concepts and simulation-based troubleshooting.
4. Hardware Integration & PLCs: protected synthetic controls and integration concepts.
5. Computer Vision & Navigation: protected synthetic perception and navigation scenarios.
6. Edge Deployment & MLOps: browser-only deployment and observability planning.
7. Capstone — Industry 4.0 Project: non-production planning, documentation, and handoff.
Credential alignment
RoboVoTech awards its own internal program credential.
Completion awards the RoboVoTech program certificate. OSHA Outreach training and an OSHA card are separate and are available only through an OSHA-authorized trainer or authorized provider; RoboVoTech does not award an OSHA card.
- RoboVoTech program certificate on program completion.
- OSHA Outreach/card pathway is separate and provider-authorized.
- No live robot/runtime/production authority is granted by this program.
Credential promise
Students should leave with evidence, not just attendance.
- Portfolio-ready project documentation.
- Short demo clips suitable for social sharing.
- Instructor feedback on technical communication.
- Capstone presentation for peers, instructors, and partners.
- A clear next step toward employment, further training, or business automation.
