It’s no longer unusual, in this era of automation, to see humans and robots working side by side. Enter: Collaborative robots (cobots), which as the name implies work in collaboration with humans. Cobots are gaining momentum with advanced manufacturing and logistics companies because they enhance human work – freeing employees up to do things that are more analytical, like quality control.
If robots and cobots interest you, you’re in luck. Indiana is on the forefront of cobot tech innovation and education. In partnership with Telamon Robotics, Vincennes University recently opened a cobot lab inside its Center for Applied Robotics and Automation to train students and Hoosier companies on cobot technology.
Studies confirm that cobots will soon be an integral part of the increasingly tech-driven manufacturing and logistics industries and employees who understand the technology will be in high demand. If you’re interested in learning more, the Advanced Manufacturing Automation Technology program at Vincennes University could be a fit for you.
