The cell, which is deeply integrated into the course curriculum, includes an ABB IRB 120 robot on a self-contained mobile cart, an ABB IRC5 robot controller and 50 licenses (seats) for RobotStudio.
The robot training cell provided to schools will allow students to work directly with a six-axis industrial robot and RobotStudio, ABB’s proprietary, graphically based programming software. The SMART package also includes course materials to support the newly certified instructors. Once the teachers complete the full training they must pass a certification exam before they can teach courses to students at their own schools. Teachers can start the process with little or no robotic experience, and set their own timeline based on their specific schedule and availability. ABB Robotics instructors train professors and teachers through a comprehensive curriculum that includes customized training courses, and hands-on robotics training at the ABB training center in Auburn Hills, Michigan. The package curriculum can be adapted to meet the varying education levels of high schools, universities, community colleges, technical colleges, vocational schools and adult education centers. A portion of the package may qualify for government STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) subsidies, and schools can use the package to support their STEM education initiatives.
The SMART (software, maintenance and robotics training) package certifies teachers and professors to teach robotics courses, provides curriculum and course outlines and materials, and provides a complete robotic training cell to schools at a reduced cost. ABB Robotics has introduced the SMART Education Package, available to qualifying schools to help educate and provide hands-on training to students on the basics of manufacturing automation technology, and the programming, safe operation and maintenance of industrial robots.
