Cobot Learning Center (COLEAC) for Dutch Multi-Level Educators and Manufacturing SMEs

Abstract

Harnessing the emergence of Industry 4.0 is challenging for small-and medium sized enterprises (SME). To overcome the challenges of collaborative robot (cobot) integration in SME manufacturing industry, TU Delft has founded the Cobot Learning Center (COLEAC). With a modular educational framework, future manufacturing workforce is (re)educated to the required skill levels. Trainees consist of SME professionals and multi-level educators. Next to cobot and AGV technology, Virtual and Augmented technologies are integrated into the courses and exemplary SME manufacturing processes are used in the classroom.
