DOBOT: CUSTOMER STORY FROM UNIVERSITY, VOCATIONAL EDUCATION TO K12 STEM PROGRAM

Customer Application Story

Inspiring application cases of how schools and companies around the world are using Dobot Robot Arm to create immersive teaching and learning experiences.

Shandong Jinan Second Middle School

Project Purpose

The purpose of maker education is to improve the students' hands-on capabilities. Therefore, there are hardware and software resources in need and specific requirements for the maker classroom. Maker education, which integrates STEM (Science, Technology, Electronics, and Mathematics), can invoke students' interest in learning by adopting the teaching form of the flipped classroom.

Project Outcome

Shandong Jinan Second Middle School built the maker laboratory to promote the basic education of artificial intelligence, focusing on "Artificial Intelligence" and combining two compulsory courses of high school information technology: "Data and Computing" and "Information System". Students in the school participated in multiple contests and achieved good results with the training and support of DOBOT staff.

Wudi Vocational Middle School in Shandong Province

Project purpose

Building maker labs suitable for secondary vocational education can promote maker education and artificial intelligence education. Students can access cutting-edge technologies and be well prepared for China's intelligent manufacturing. Both China's manufacturing industry and workforce needed in the industry needs to be transformed. Schools need to train and better prepare learners for the industry development of industrial-level artificial intelligence, and serve the "New Generation Artificial Intelligence Development Plan".

Project Results

The school has built a 900-square-meter maker laboratory. Since the completion of the laboratory, it has received dozens of visits from social and educational departments and has achieved outstanding performances in the robot competition. In 2017 and 2018, it won the robot arm group champion of the World Robot Conference Competition for two consecutive years and the junior high school championship at the DOBOSPACE Russia International Invitational Tournament hosted by the UNESCO Institute for Information and Information Education in November 2018.

"Smart Logistics" - Zibo Jinling Hui Nationality Primary School

Project Purpose

Building a maker lab suitable for Jinling's unique regional primary education s can promote maker education and artificial intelligence education. Students can access cutting-edge technologies and be well prepared for China's intelligent manufacturing. Both China's manufacturing industry and workforce needed in the industry needs to be transformed. Schools need to train and better prepare learners for the industry development of industrial-level artificial intelligence, and serve the "New Generation Artificial Intelligence Development Plan".

Project Outcome

The school has built a 50-square maker laboratory. Since the completion of the laboratory, it has received dozens of visits from society and educational departments and has achieved great results in the robot competition. In July 2018, it won the best organization award in the finals of the World Robot Conference Competition.

Small Intelligent Robot Lab - China University of Mining and Technology

Project Purpose

The main purpose of the lab is to provide experimental hardware equipment for teaching the basics of robotics, robot dynamics and control, and robot system design and application, thus training students' capabilities in kinematics, dynamics analysis, electromechanical transmission, automatic control, etc. Through the combination of theory and practice, the university anticipates that students can truly master the principles of the robot system and the role of machine vision, and strengthen their understanding of theory through practical experiences.

Project Outcome

1. Simulated sorting and handling system based on DOBOT Magician robotic arm and conveyor belt: enable students to further approach multi-degree-of-freedom industrial robots, and boost students' love and interest in robots by simulating robot identification, sorting and transmission in actual production;

2. Calligraphy writing system based on the DOBOT Magician robotic arm and slide rail: enable students to realize that the robot can be applied to real life and bring actual benefits, so that they are interested in learning broader robot knowledge;

3. Sorting system based on DOBOT Magician robotic arm and vision kit: give students the opportunity to learn advanced knowledge in visual recognition and other fields, so that students can be more motivated by innovation during their undergraduate study;

4. Mapping and navigating system based on DOBOT M1+AGV: use ROS system, radar navigation, robot arm linkage, map modeling and other advanced technologies, currently in the advanced field in the country. Development opportunities are abundant for students to freely choose based on their own interest, further training their programming, debugging and building skills.

Shandong Zibo High-tech Zone Second Primary School

Project Purpose

In order to promote the maker education, the school prepares the National Internet + Joint Education of Family and School Conference, and introduces the DOBOT robotic arms into classes to embed STEAM education into the curriculum at the primary school stage. By learning how to use a robot arm to 3D print, laser engrave, write and draw, pick and place objects, etc., learners can enhance their hands-on ability and cultivate innovative spirits to get a grasp of the future of automation.

Project Results

Artificial intelligence education is the focus of future education. The sooner students access it, the more competitive edges they will get. Compared with traditional courses, students are more interested in artificial intelligence ones. The school has conducted related teaching for half a year, mainly in the form of associations and targeting third and fourth-grade students. Many students join relevant courses, get very excited when achieving great results in competitions, and their learning attitudes are greatly improved.
