RoboCup – our commitment to train the next generation of specialists
“Robots – stirring up fond childhood memories...
And I can remember watching science fiction stories on TV as a kid – totally fascinated by these fantastic machines. I don’t mean a 6 axis industrial welding robot but a something autonomous - mysterious and mobile, powerful and precise – something that can be used to conquer distant worlds - or to shape this one to our needs.
Most young people who are fascinated by technology probably imagine a mechatronics engineer or technician as someone surrounded by machines that go about their business as if by magic.
This fascination must be fostered by a technology and training organisation in order to promote technology training worldwide. For this reason Festo invest in the development of industrial quality competition robots and in the promotion of the RoboCup movement. “
Equipped with artificial intelligence, programmed by experts from the IT branch, equipped by mechatronics engineers with camera and sensors, with energy-efficient drive and precise grippers, the Robotino - like any mobile robot – is the a guarantee of success for RoboCup.”
