Educational Institutions Case Stories
Educational institutions are increasingly integrating collaborative robots (cobots) into their technical and engineering programs to better prepare students for modern, automated workplaces. By incorporating cobots into hands-on training, schools provide students with real-world experience in programming, operating, and maintaining robotic systems commonly used in manufacturing and industrial settings. This approach not only enhances students’ technical skills but also ensures graduates are equipped to meet the evolving demands of Industry 4.0.
Randolph Community College (RCC) in Asheboro, North Carolina, has integrated collaborative robots (cobots) into its Automation Engineering Technology program to enhance hands-on training and better prepare students for careers in industrial automation.
RAMTEC is closing the skills gap with Universal Robots’ flexible, easy‑to‑program cobots that let students—from middle schoolers to industry workers—learn robotics in minutes, without expensive safety cages.
With a government‑funded UR5 cobot now roaming freely around its labs, PSG College of Technology empowers students—and even local industry professionals—with interactive, Industry 4.0‑ready robotics education that’s safe, customizable, and instantly engaging.
With intuitive UR cobots embedded in hands‑on lab work—from CNC machine tending to palletizing—Dallas College graduates are landing job offers in the middle of their 12‑week program, proving just how effective automation training can be
