The robotics industry is projected to reach $218B by 2030. AMR shipments grew 50% year-over-year. Humanoid robots are entering warehouses, hotels, and hospitals. This major trains the operations professionals who deploy, manage, and optimize these systems — the human layer that makes automation actually work.
Every student completes the Foundations plus domain-specific courses. You don't just learn robotics — you learn to deploy and operate robot systems in real facilities.
Workplace safety, LOTO, safety zone design, OSHA, incident investigation. The non-negotiable foundation for anyone working with robots in physical environments.
Fleet dashboards, shift planning, performance benchmarking, SLA tracking. Managing multiple robots as a coordinated system — not individual machines.
Pre-deployment surveys, SLAM mapping, zone configuration, facility integration. The complete playbook for bringing robots into a new facility and making them productive.
Sensor data, predictive vs. preventive maintenance, AI anomaly detection. Keep robot fleets running with data-driven maintenance — not just reactive fixes.
ROS/ROS2, OTA updates, map management, behavior scripting, version management. The software layer that makes robots smart — and keeping it updated safely.
Customer onboarding, training materials, identifying robot champions, ROI reporting. The customer success skills that make robot deployments stick.
Hardware landscape, Chinese vs. Western robotics, RaaS, regulatory landscape. Understanding the industry you're operating in — not just the robots you're deploying.
Robot data management, warehouse fundamentals, building ops from scratch, executive presentations. The professional maturity that turns technicians into operations leaders.
The robotics industry is projected to reach $218B by 2030. AMR shipments grew 50% YoY. Every warehouse, hospital, and hotel deploying robots needs operations professionals who can make them work.
