Ireland’s First Collaborative Training Centre

 Universal Robots and Cobots.ie seek to accelerate cobot adoption within the region

Based in Midleton, Cork the facility will comprise solutions from industry-leaders, including UR+ ecosystem partners, such as OnRobot and Robotiq. This will provide manufacturers with a dedicated cobot hub where they can gain first-hand experience of the full ecosystem and discover how they can quickly and seamlessly automate their operations.

The centre will also see UR expand its Authorised Training Centre where visitors will be able to join certified training sessions. Based on the company’s popular Academy online training, qualified trainers will deliver hands-on classes where attendees can learn programming skills regardless of their robotics experience or background.
