Synopsis

Does Your Child Dream of Building or Programming Robots?

Industrial robots are everywhere — welding cars, packing food, assembling electronics — and the engineers who program them are among the most in-demand professionals in the world. But where does a student even begin?

This book is that beginning.

Basics of ABB Industrial Robotics for School Students is the only beginner-friendly guide written specifically for Indian school students in Classes 8 to 12 who are curious about industrial robotics and automation. No prior knowledge is needed. No engineering degree. Just curiosity.

What You Will Learn

• What industrial robots are and how they are used in real factories


• How the ABB robot arm works — explained using your own arm as an analogy


• Coordinate systems (World, Base, Tool, WorkObject) in simple language


• The IRC5 and OmniCore controllers — the robot's brain explained clearly


• How the FlexPendant works as the robot's remote control


• Introduction to RAPID programming — writing your first robot program


• Robot inputs and outputs (I/O) — how robots communicate with machines


• RobotStudio — ABB's free simulation software you can try on your laptop


• Common robot errors and how engineers fix them


• Career paths in robotics — from student to Application Engineer

Designed for Learning, Not Just Reading

Every chapter includes Fun Facts, Think About It prompts, hands-on Activities, and a Quick Quiz. The book ends with a full set of review questions, practical exercises, and an answer key — making it ideal for self-study, classroom use, or robotics club sessions.

Important Note

This book covers basic concepts only — designed to help students discover whether industrial robotics is a field they want to pursue. It does not cover advanced topics like offline programming, servo gun configuration, BIW commissioning, or PLC integration. For advanced study, the same author has written a complete professional series covering ABB, FANUC, KUKA, Yaskawa, and Allen-Bradley — available at amazon.com/author/vivinvinson
