About the instructor

Pawel is an experienced robot programmer working in automotive industry and is the founder of Future Robotics.

Robot programming is a field that I feel like a duck in water. In my four-year career I worked with VW and Opel standard on FANUC and KUKA. I did integrations, new lines, cycle-time optimization, production support and quality adjustments . Known applications: spot welding, handling, clinching, riveting, arc welding, gluing, stud welding, roller hemming, laser brazing, laser welding.

If you think that hiring me could be increasing the effectiveness of your company, you are most likely right. For some Robot programming is just a regular job... To me is an art form, that I want to create with passion.
