Ferrari, Comau launch robotics learning center

-

Ferrari and Comau launched a new learning center this week called the e.DO Learning Center that will use Comau’s robots to help students explore STEM subjects, coding and robotics. 

The e.DO Learning Center is an educational environment where eight to 19-year-olds are given the tools and materials to explore robotics, while also learning soft skills and work culture. The facility is equipped with five of Comau’s e.DO 6-axis robots, complete with all necessary materials and accessories. Students can access the experience at the Istituto Istruzione Superiore (IIS) “Fermo Corni” of Modena, Italy, an institute of higher education and a secondary school.  

“This important initiative, which has been carried out with such a prestigious Company as Ferrari, is proof of Comau’s dedication to creating social value for the local territory and designing advanced robotics solutions for new sectors,” Pietro Gorlier, Comau’s CEO, said. “The e.DO Learning Center is the ideal tool to engage and stimulate new generations to develop innovative skills, both technical and personal, which are increasingly necessary within today’s study paths and the ever-changing world of work. Commitment to developing cutting-edge technologies is one of the foundations of this educational project, and a fundamental part of Comau’s DNA.”

Comau and Ferrari hope that the learning center can create an exciting and interactive environment where young people can gain an education focused on the latest innovative technologies. The center is also designed to inspire a culture of technology in schools throughout the Province of Modena and help students develop skills that can aid them in the workforce. 

The learning center also provides a full set of teaching materials with training packages that center around different concepts of teamwork. At the center, students will be divided into groups and tasked with solving challenging programming scenarios on their e.DO robot. 

“The e.DO Learning Center is a key part of giving students the opportunity to experience hands-on learning from a 6-axis robot with the help of an expert trainer, and in doing so, allow them to build a solid foundation in STEM and entry-level robotics,” Enzio Fregnan, the Comau Academy and Business Education Director, said. “It reflects Comau Academy’s commitment to anticipating future training needs and developing innovative and stimulating educational projects for the future generation of young talents.”

Comau recently introduced a new training program in collaboration with Seabery. The program, designed for students and workers, allows users to practice skills that will help them become proficient and certified robotic welders.

Chipotle Mexican Grill announced Autocado, an avocado processing cobotic prototype that cuts, cores, and peels avocados before they are hand mashed to create the restaurant’s famous guacamole. The prototype, developed in collaboration with Vebu , is currently being tested at the Chipotle Cultivate Center in Irvine , California.  How Autocado works  A team member loads Autocado with a full case of ripe avocados and selects the size setting. Autocado can hold up to 25 lbs. of avocados at once. One at a time, avocados are vertically oriented, then transferred to the processing device. The avocados are sliced in half. Their cores and skin are automatically removed, and the waste is discarded.  The fruit is safely collected in a stainless-steel bowl at the bottom of the device.  A team member removes the bowl of avocado fruit and moves it to the counter where they add additional ingredients and hand mash the avocados to make Chipotle’s signature guacamole.  How the Autocado idea s

Intrinsic tested its latest platform and Flowstate with Comau , an Italian-based robot manufacturer and global systems integrator. Comau has been working with Intrinsic for several years now to validate Intrinsic’s platform technology and developer product, Flowstate, through real-world use cases.  Flowstate, announced earlier this year in May , is a robotic software development platform. It’s Intrinsic’s first developer product built on the Intrinsic platform. Comau was also introduced as the company’s first industry partner in May.  The Intrinsic Flowstate software  adds a layer of abstraction to traditional robotic software tools with the goal of reducing the development skillset required while making it easier than ever before to program a robot in simulation. “Partnering with Comau over the years has brought our team a tremendous amount of expertise, knowledge, and real-world use cases to focus our efforts on. We’re excited for what’s next and what it will mean to the solutio
