The NEW ACADEMIC & TRAINING ROBOT FROM DENSO

AA Robotics and DENSO proudly present the NEW ACADEMIC & TRAINING ROBOT.

The new academic robot is a tiny 7 - axis robot (including servo-hand) intended for learning and training purposes in the academic field and in factory automation

Lack of practical experience in universities.

Just a few years ago, it was nearly impossible for many universities to offer students the opportunity to learn and work with industrial robots; they were simply too expensive and the cost-benefit relation was not profitable (i.e. currently the cost of an industrial robot is equivalent to the cost of a compact or large size new car). This lack of equipment led to a deficit of practical experience among students who in “theory” knew how industrial robots worked, but in reality had never operated one.

Today, many universities face the challenge of acquiring this kind of technology due to the high costs involved. Therefore, the lack of applied knowledge in the field of industrial automation persists, even in high-tech savvy countries such as the UK & Germany. Given the lack of specialists in technical and scientific professions, such deficits in the higher education system are a real competitive disadvantage for the nation’s economy.

An affordable solution for practice oriented automation studies is now presented by Japanese robot manufacturer DENSO. 

DENSO Robotics, the world’s leading manufacturer of small-arm industrial robots, worked with another Japanese company to create a tiny 7 axis-robot that offers many advantages over its competitors at a much more affordable price.

The new academic robot allows students to learn in an easy and safe way to program and operate robots using real technology. This new innovation is a tiny 7-axis robot designed for learning and training purposes in the academic field and in factory automation.

Universities recognize the importance of students working and training with actual robots. Robots are vital for students to engage in hands-on education, highly important in engineering studies. Without robot access students have less practical experience and are less capable once employment is obtained.

Finally it becomes the company’s responsibility to further educate these employees. It is thus important for the industry that robot manufactures provide the means for practise-oriented education.

The key advantages of the new Academic Robot:

• The biggest advantage of this robot is of course its affordable price.
• The robot is easy to transport,
• Easy to programme
• Easy to integrate into different IT environments.
• There is no need for external controllers since a microcomputer is already installed in the robot arm. The robot operation can be done from a normal PC or laptop, which is especially convenient for students.
• A special safety fence is not needed for the operation of the robot.

Thanks to affordable DENSO robots, universities now have the opportunity to offer their students a practise-oriented education. Students are eager to work with real industrial robots and fully embrace the chance to use them. Companies like DENSO, through their products, now give universities the chance to obtain industrial robots at an affordable price.
