learning tool, there is also a strong need for industrialcertification programs in robotics automation. Millions of domestic/personal robots are already onthe market worldwide, from lawn mowers to entertainment robots. Global competition,productivity demands, advances in technology, and affordability will force companies to increasethe use of robots in the foreseeable future (5-8). While the automotive industry was the first to userobotics, aerospace, machining, and medical industries now also rely on robotic automation (9,10). More than ever, trained and certified specialists are needed to maintain and monitor existingrobots and to develop more advanced robotic technologies (11, 12-14).
