Project
The Teach Bot project uses hands-on robotics technician training to not only train the participant, but also make the participant more comfortable working alongside robotics by using the robot as the instructor. Teach Bot has the ability to work with a wide-range of students, including students with no engineering experience.
Objective
Provide hands-on training to address the workforce shortage for specifically for small and medium sized manufacturers. The robot doubles as the instructor, improving trainee confidence and comfort when working alongside robots and other technology.
