Industry-led Focus
Co-create, Co-design, Co-location training

Customised Robot training focusing on Flexible Automation, such as MoMa - Mobile Manipulator (Collaborative Robot mounted on top of Autonomous Mobile Robot). Through a 35-hour program, participants gain programming skills for both types of robots and delve into typical industry applications. This initiative benefits educational institutions by attracting students and nurturing industry partnerships, while also producing engineers with enhanced skills to meet industry needs. This has been offered as a micro-credential and also integrated into their advanced manufacturing degree.
