Hybrid Apprenticeship Fair at MCI University of Applied Sciences Innsbruck
I had the privilege to represent MCI University of Applied Sciences Innsbruck at the Apprenticeship 4 You training fair on 17 October 2022 in Innsbruck. It was a rewarding experience as I had the opportunity to demonstrate the process of programming a robotic arm in a user-friendly way to people of different age groups. Attendees actively participated by personally instructing the robot with the coordinates of the axes.
Highlights from the Event
As showcased in the pictures and videos below, we set up several marble runs. The robot arms deftly picked up the marbles and threw them into the next section of the run.
In addition to the marble runs, we also simulated a conveyor belt operation, which is featured in a short YouTube video. For these demonstrations, we used various robot arms from renowned manufacturers such as Universal Robots, Kuka, and ABB.
Reflections on Technology
The advances in technology are truly remarkable. It's amazing to think that not so long ago, computers operated with punch cards, and now we have robots, artificial intelligence, VR glasses, and so much more. Yet, we're still only scratching the surface of what technology can achieve. It's fascinating to imagine how technology will evolve in 100 or even 1000 years.
Even though we may not witness these future developments firsthand, it's exciting to think about the possibilities and the positive impacts they could bring to the world.
Looking Ahead
I am eagerly looking forward to contributing to the simplification or automation of everyday work processes in the future.
Stay tuned for more updates and insights as we continue to explore and advance the boundaries of technology!
