ABB launches robotics education package

ABB has launched a ready-to-use education package comprising a GoFa cobot and teaching materials to help educational establishments train young people in robotic automation.

Mounted on a compact tabletop, the cobot helps students learn real-life industrial applications such as pick and place and 3D printing. Students as young as 15 can use the robot with no need for prior engineering knowledge.

The materials give teachers everything they need to guide students through 12 lessons at basic and advanced levels, taking them from the fundamentals of robotics to more advanced applications and programming. A total of 56 hours of content is provided, including videos, interactive online exercises, 400 test questions, and lab exercises with the manufacturer’s RobotStudio offline programming tool.
