AI Robotics Company Robots An initiative has been launched to boost training for artificial intelligence in Germany. In response to the shortage of skilled workers, the Munich-based tech company doesn’t just want to boost universities and train companies with AI expertise. The reason: “We don’t have a problem with skilled workers, we have a problem with training!”
That's why Christian Fink, an expert in AI robotics, is calling on German companies to get to grips with the technology of the future now so they don't miss out. With the newly launched Robominds educational package, Robominds wants to give everyone an introduction to the world of AI robotics.
AI technology needs to be understood.
Because AI certainly has the potential to address the shortage of skilled workers. In order to use AI technology profitably, it must be fundamentally understood. And the key to this is training: “We don’t have a problem with skilled workers, we have a problem with training! Companies and educational institutions alike must take action now so that Germany does not lose out as a business location,” says Christian Fink, Chief Organization Officer at Robominds and initiator of the educational offensive.
Other countries are more active and have already taken the lead, Christian Fink continues and becomes even clearer: “I call on all training companies, vocational school teachers, professors and lecturers to actively participate in AI. “AI in robotics is much more than just a ChatGPT calculation; the potential investments cannot fail because the federal and state governments already offer comprehensive funding programs.”
“Integrating Artificial Intelligence into STEM Subjects”
Patrick Schwarzkopf, Managing Director of the VDMA Robotics + Automation Association, agrees: “People need to understand AI and be able to assess its possibilities, limitations and implications, which makes its integration into MINT subjects essential. If young people only learn classical natural sciences, mathematics and technology, without computer science and artificial intelligence, we will lose touch. The earlier enthusiasm for technology is stimulated, the better. There is nothing better than robotics to spark interest in mathematics, physics, programming, artificial intelligence, technology, etc.
Robominds Learning Bundle: Complex AI Made Simple
With the Robominds Education Bundle, businesses and educational institutions can integrate AI individually tailored to their needs by choosing from a wide range of modules. Options include integrating an AI-powered robotic cell, Robominds’ Robobrain specifically aimed at beginner-friendly robotics skills training, pilot programs for industrial processes, additional training materials, workshops and keynotes. “It doesn’t matter whether you already have robotics or programming skills. We make AI robotics easy and tangible for everyone – and we are there to support you with our knowledge from the start,” says Christian Fink.
On a mission with strong partners
As part of its educational offensive, Robominds also relies on its strong regional partner network: “With NEXT.Robotics and Adolf Neuendorf, for example, we have two particularly well-established partners in the education sector at our side, which further strengthens our offensive.” In a first step, robotic cells already set up in the educational environment will be equipped with Robobrain AI. Joint online seminars and workshops with IHK are also intended to help make AI robotics accessible to everyone.
Patrick Schwarzkopf also emphasizes the potential of Robominds’ AI technology in the training sector: “Robominds offers an intuitive technology that users can easily grasp and understand. That’s exactly how I felt when I was allowed to try it for the first time: it worked quickly. Robots are a very good way to do this because you can easily attach yourself to them – arm, hand, finger, eye.
Experience and learn artificial intelligence in practical application
A current case study at the Augsburg University of Applied Sciences shows how easy it is to successfully integrate AI robots into educational curricula: Robobrain has been tried and learned through practical and interactive use for some time. Professor Dr. Eng. Simon Dietrich, Professor of Production Engineering and Robotics at the University of Augsburg, is convinced: “The magic of working with this system is fantastic, as many functions can be implemented in the system in a short time. The participants learn in a playful way how to integrate AI-assisted image processing in order to efficiently automate pick-and-place processes with intelligent capabilities.”
Professor Simon Dietrich therefore calls on companies to engage with the topic of AI: “In addition to qualifications in university courses, it is necessary to create additional part-time training courses. We need to build the skills needed to deal with AI systems in companies as quickly as possible. Even if a company has not yet decided to implement this technology itself, it will inevitably come into contact with it through dealing with customers and suppliers.
