Add On: Industrial Robots

Experience real industrial robotics directly in the classroom

This set allows learners to take an intensive look at the subject of industrial robots and to prepare themselves in a practical way to deal with the challenges of the modern world of work. Pupils assemble two realistic six-axle robot models by themselves and learn how to program these. This hands-on experience enables them not only to gain theoretical knowledge but to develop practical skills as well. Thanks to the didactic accompanying material and interaction with our models, learners develop analytical skills, problem-solving expertise and practical teamwork in addition to gaining technical know-how.

Age level

Secondary school

Number of pupils

2-4 per kit

Learning objectives

Numerics, logic, development of solution strategies, computational thinking, dealing with basic elements of information processing (EVA principle - sensors, processing, actuators), programming, information technology

Introduction to industrial robots

Industrial robots have become an integral part of the modern manufacturing industry. They are mostly used in factories to carry out repetitive tasks quickly and with high precision. In this introduction, we will look at their structure and basic functionality. We take a look at the history of their development and find out why industrial robots have become indispensable in many industries today.
