Enhancing Robotics Skills: Hands-On Training for students

Aims Community College empowers learners to achieve their academic and career goals by offering more than 200 degree and certificate programs in areas such as ITES, O&G, aviation technology, health care, automotive, construction, and welding.

David Sordi, Chair and Instructor of Aims Community College’s Industrial Technology, Energy and Oil & Gas programs. For him, Aims’ robotics program is designed to provide both classroom and labwork to ensure students have not only a fundamental understanding of robotics technology but also hands-on experience programing, installing, and servicing industrial robots.

As mentioned above, Niryo’s educational robotic arms are used for a variety of purposes. David Sordi and his students are excited for the coming semester where we can begin to use these robots, and give students an expanded opportunity to get hands-on experience with robots.

In researching the Niryo robots, he found that they satisfied a number of requirements including flexibility in programming, various accessories that expanded the functionality of the robots, affordability, and ease of set-up.
