Robotics for schools, colleges and universities

Practical robotics training

The rapid development of digitalisation is fundamentally changing production processes and therefore requires new skills and competencies. It is therefore important that the specialists and managers of tomorrow are prepared for the new challenges. This is precisely where the Low Cost Automation training programme comes in:

Practical relevance guaranteed: The robots developed and produced by igus® for the industry are used in the training courses. This ensures a seamless introduction to industrial robotics.
Safety: igus® products are CE-compliant and therefore fulfil applicable safety standards.
Cost-effective solutions: Whether individual components to build yourself or complete systems - customise the scope of the solution to your requirements.

The most effective way to internalise theoretical knowledge is through hands-on application. By directly implementing concepts in real-world scenarios, students can bridge the gap between theory and practice, reinforcing learning and improving retention. Low Cost Automation solutions from igus® are increasingly integrated into educational institutions, providing students with access to modular robotic systems that are both affordable and highly versatile.

Our robots allow learners to experiment with motion sequences, automation workflows, and robotics programming in a controlled environment, fostering problem-solving skills and technical understanding. Many universities have already adopted igus® robots to enhance engineering, mechatronics, and automation curricula, giving students practical exposure to industrial automation technologies.
