TAICHUNG, Taiwan - Techman Robot Inc, a Taiwanese cobot manufacturer, cooperated with Phoenix Contact, Festo, and Taichung City Education Bureau to establish the Taichung Smart Manufacturing Technology Education Center.
The Taichung City Education Bureau spent NT$ thousands millions Government spending since 2021 to combine Techman Robot's AI smart vision cobot and related software and hardware, hand tool from the Phoenix Contact, and bionic machinery from Festo to co-establish the Technology Education Center. After the opening ceremony, Taichung City leverages this equipment and manpower to conduct smart manufacturing learning courses for elementary school, middle school, and high school.
How to eliminate the industry-academic gap and combine Taiwan’s technical and vocational education with global industries are the main goal of Techman Robot in recent years. For example, in 2022, Techman Robot and Taichung Industrial High School co-hosted a national smart manufacturing competition, titled “Robot Training Kit” inspired by a real use case of Continental. The purpose of this competition was to link students and industry through real use cases. And they used PBL (Problem-based learning) approach to let industries feedback to academia including teachers' training, student education courses, and teaching design.
Techman Robot is not only deeply engaged in the field of education, but also focuses on enhancing the energy of technology R&D. Taman Robot will also fully support AI and robot automation teaching and courses, jointly enhance the teaching sources of Industry 4.0 smart manufacturing technology, and work with Taichung City Education Bureau to implement robotics technical and vocational education.
