About our resources
The robotics module consists of four learning resources which should be completed in sequence,
- Introducing robotics
- Industrial robotics design principles
- Control and coordinates
- Planning for safety and performance
Each resource includes the following:
- Practitioner resource slides including detailed delivery notes and additional suggestions
- Learner versions of the resource slides without delivery notes
- Printable activity sheets to support the written activities within the resource

1. Introducing Robotics
This level 2 resource provides a bridge between level 2 and level 3. It helps learners to explore the range of robots available and the settings in which they can be found, and from this, to develop a working definition of a robot in engineering terms. From there, learners generate ideas for a robot of the future, defining its purpose and explaining how it might operate.
2. Industrial robotic design principles
This level 3 resource builds on the Level 2 introduction and explores how robots integrate a range of systems to provide solutions to a wide range of material handling and processing tasks.
3. Control and coordinates
This level 3 resource explores how to control a robot end effector using different sets of coordinates including cartesian and polar coordinates.
4. Planning for safety and performance
This level 3 resource explores safety considerations when working alongside robots, as well as selecting and applying effective safety features and practices.
