Course / Certification
120-Hour AI + Robotics Certification
A practical certification built around AI tools, robotics foundations, automation workflows, hands-on projects, and job-ready technical communication.
What students learn
AI foundations, robotics basics, sensors, motors, hardware, automation workflows, prompting, AI agents, computer vision, low-code tools, and capstone delivery.
Time commitment
120 hours. Recommended delivery: blended online learning, hands-on lab sessions, project work, coaching, and a final demo.
Prerequisites
No prior robotics or coding experience required. Students should be ready to practice, attend labs, and document their work.
Tools and technologies
AI assistants, Python basics, ROS 2 concepts, Arduino, Raspberry Pi, cameras, sensors, motors, OpenCV, no-code automation, and project documentation tools.
Hands-on projects
Sensor robot activity, computer vision inspection demo, automation workflow, AI dashboard, robot control exercise, and capstone prototype.
Career and business outcomes
Entry-level robotics technician preparation, automation support skills, AI workflow competence, portfolio demos, and local employer visibility.
Location / online format
Serving Santa Rosa Beach, Walton County, 30A, and Northwest Florida. Specific lab location and online format are announced by cohort.
Next cohort date
Placeholder: Fall 2026 cohort. Open house and application deadlines will be posted before enrollment opens.
Tuition
Placeholder: tuition to be announced. Scholarship, employer sponsorship, and workforce funding interest can be noted in the application.
120 hours / 12 weeks
A blended course sequence built for practice and proof.
RoboVoTech is structured as a 120-hour, 12-week blended certification: about 40% hands-on lab work and 60% self-paced online preparation, review, documentation, and project work.
1. Foundations and safety: core terminology, lab expectations, robotics basics, and safe work habits.
2. Industrial safety: OSHA 10 General Industry concepts, robot-specific safety, and shop-floor awareness.
3. ROS 2: robot fundamentals, ROS 2 operations, system behavior, and troubleshooting practice.
4. Hardware and PLCs: sensors, wiring, microcontrollers, Raspberry Pi, Arduino, and PLC integration concepts.
5. Computer vision and navigation: cameras, OpenCV workflows, object detection, navigation, and inspection use cases.
6. Edge deployment and MLOps: preparing AI models and automation workflows for edge hardware and repeatable deployment.
7. Capstone: plan, build, document, demo, and present a practical AI + robotics project.
Credential alignment
Mapped toward the credential language employers already recognize.
The RoboVoTech curriculum is aligned with and mapped toward external workforce competency areas where appropriate. Completion awards the RoboVoTech AI + Robotics Certification; external certifications are separate unless explicitly offered by the issuing body.
