The objective of this project is to create educational materials and a robotic simulator that align with the demands of the labor market. This training material will be delivered in vocational training centers linked to educational programs in the professional fields of electricity and electronics, IT and communications, and installations and maintenance, with a specific focus on courses related to home automation, industrial maintenance, and automotive technology. The goal is to provide new activities that are better adapted to current challenges, incorporating robotics exercises, particularly focusing on robotic environment simulation supported by artificial intelligence, which students will create themselves. With these materials, the project aims to reduce the technological gap, promote international cooperation, enhance students’ employability, and implement innovative methodologies. Additionally, it seeks to transfer knowledge and best practices to other institutions and companies.
The project arises in response to the so-called Fourth Industrial Revolution, in which we are immersed, and which is significantly transforming the labor market that our students must enter. The aim was to develop demonstrators or application scenarios for AI, Industry 4.0, and IoT in robotics, as well as to create an advanced robotic simulator designed for vocational training, with the goal of enhancing students’ technical skills in robotics and automation. The needs addressed include: Lack of advanced educational resources in robotic simulation within vocational training. Differences in the quality of education among participating countries, making it difficult to standardize competencies. The need to improve students' employability by providing practical and digital tools that reflect the demands of the current labor market. Promotion of international cooperation, enabling the exchange of knowledge and best practices among educational institutions and technology sector companies.
