Every child has a favorite subject in school. Some children prefer math, while others enjoy science or literature. Future generations, however, will be able to say that robotics was their favorite area of study, thanks to ABB.

ABB is offering schools, colleges and universities a robotic package, which is designed to teach real-life industrial robot concepts in the classroom. Based around ABB’s IRB 120 robot and its controller, the package enables students to increase their awareness and understanding of the principles and operation of industrial robots used in modern manufacturing applications.
According to ABB, the robotic package is designed to give students an insight into:
How industrial robots are programmed and operated
The design and control principles of industrial robots
The design and control principles of robot work cells
Programming ABB robots using the off-line programming software, RobotStudio
Robotic cell hazards, health and safety and maintenance requirements
Protecting electrical controls and equipment within food and beverage plants presents unique challenges due to the sanitation requirements of the hygienic environment.
