My country is Turkey and in my country at collage and university which aim is mechatronics have a robotic lesson for teaching student robot arm and robot automation. They use Mitsubishi RV_2A and RV-2AJ robot and cosimir software.
thanks

Hi,
In Australia robotic education is not part of any set curriculum. Most schools that use robots do so in after school 'robot clubs' and they compete in competitions like RoboCup Jnr. This is heavily dominated by Lego robots.
Robots are used at TAFE's (colleges) and at Uni's, but there usage is defendant upon teachers/lectures choosing to use them.
We have sold Bioloids to schools, TAFE & Uni's - at this stage the Bioloid has been the most popular but RoboBuilder is also very good and cheaper.
Peter.

Hello,
I am Philippe, working on robotics (POB robots) for educational institutions all over the world.
The way that robots are used in education depends on several criteria:
- The educational level (from junior high school up to universities).
- The pedagogical goals (computer science, automation, student motivation for sciences, competitions, gouvernment policy...).
- The robot customization possibilities.
- quality of documentation and programs examples
- The suited software to your needs.
- The budget.
As student can spend only a few time for a course (20 to 50 hours), the material and software have to be easy to handle, and not waste time about the first approach.
A good choice criteria is also having the possibility to use the same material for different kind of users depending on the software they use to program the robot. This way, the budget is optimized.
Most of time, courses start from an existing kit and program example. Then the students have to customize the robot and/or the software to reach the pedagogical goals while building a new project.
Finaly, a school or interschool competition is a great way to enhance the motivation
For example, in France, 60 schools of a local academic area (LYON) are starting a project with our POB robots. The goal is to build the concept of a robot that can help people with restricted mobility. Each class works with 3 to 5 robots and additional mechanical stuff, they are all free to do what they want.
The goals for these 18 years old students is to bring them to the automation principles, working on the operative and command parts of an automated system.
Of course, student motivation with playful materials is why the local educational institution choose robots for this year. They develop creativity, team work and improve their knowledge while having fun.
Philippe
