Utilization of Educational Robots in the Process of Design and Education

This article focuses on the utilization of educational robots in the process of design and education, as well as in the creation of automated workplaces. Current advancements in technology, referred to as Industry 4.0 or Industry 5.0, bring forth new possibilities in logistics management and the implementation of autonomous systems into practical use. These innovations create space for utilizing educational robots in teaching and in modeling work environments that correspond to real conditions in industries. The article highlights the necessity of employing educational robots in the creation of automated workplaces. As robotics and automation continue to progress, simulating robotic workplaces becomes a crucial part of developing manufacturing processes. To accurately model these workplaces, the use of educational robots, faithfully representing elements found in actual manufacturing operations, is indispensable. The primary goal is to create a functional model of a robotized workplace in a laboratory setting using educational robots and their components. This model serves as a physical demonstration of logistics flows on a reduced scale and allows simulation of real work environments in various industry sectors. The current research institute at the BERG Faculty possesses educational robots and actively endeavors to integrate these resources into research efforts, aiming to enhance the efficiency of the teaching process. In terms of the technological aspect of research, the objective is to develop autonomous systems with the assistance of educational robots and to model workplaces like real industry settings. The project plan involves constructing a new laboratory for simulating robotic workplaces using educational robots.
