What happens in a session

This is robotics engineering on a real industrial cobot. Students learn the status of working with the arm itself. It is not training for a factory job, and it is not a toy.

  1. A safety briefing comes first.
  2. Each student teaches the industrial robot arm one movement on the teach pendant. The movement is pick and place: sort shapes, stack cubes.
  3. Those movements are combined in one full run.
  4. In the last 10 minutes, parents watch a live demo.

Each session is 2 hours. Bring a friend. Friends who sign up together are placed in the same group.

Photo and media use is a separate opt-in. It is not part of signing up.

Silent clip. The robot picks up and places pieces on the table. Press play.
