Robotic arm workspace simulation assembly inside Autodesk Fusion 360

What this session is about

This webinar is one continuous, live build. Starting from an empty Fusion 360 workspace, you'll assemble a real multi-joint robotic arm, run a Motion Study to bring its joints to life under realistic limits, and finish by directing and publishing an animation — all without leaving the software.

Along the way you'll get a practical, memorable answer to a question that trips up even experienced engineers: what's the real difference between Automation and Robotics? Every concept is tied back to real industries — automotive, warehousing, medical, and consumer products — so it sticks well beyond the session itself.

✓Understand Fusion 360 and its industrial applications
✓Explain Automation and why it matters to modern industry
✓Explain Robotics and where it is applied
✓Clearly differentiate Automation from Robotics
✓Assemble a multi-joint robotic arm in Fusion 360
✓Run a Motion Study across synchronized joints
✓Create and publish a professional animation
