Since 2016, Universal Robots has offered robotics training to customers and others with an interest in collaborative robots. After having grown to 119 onsite training centers across the globe, the Universal Robots Academy has included more than 200,000 registered users.
“It is amazing to see that so many robotics enthusiasts from all over the world have joined us to enhance their robotic skills and benefit from the training we offer,” says Mikkel Vahl, global head of academy and education. “We’re a company on a mission—automation for anyone anywhere. A key part of this is providing our customers and robotics enthusiasts with high-quality training that gives them the skills they need to unleash the full potential of their cobots.”
Universal Robots helps companies to automate anything from bin-picking to heavy-load palletizing and ship welding, which is reflected in the variety of the Universal Robots Academy, offering a range of courses from free virtual e-learning to in-depth and in-person classroom training.
“No matter the task or the size of your company, you can find relevant training that can help you become even more successful with your automation,” says Vahl. “Compared to other industrial robots, cobots are simpler to program and operate. But no matter if you are an application engineer, a robotics expert or new to robotics you will benefit from taking instructor-led training.”
