Two Core robotic arms will be on site at Kellenberg Memorial beginning on March 30.
Developed by Standard Bots, Core, a six-axis robot equipped with 3D vision, is engineered to handle tasks with ease and precision. Core can locate and pick objects from a table, read machine screens, and, soon, inspect objects. Additionally, Core is commanded by a touchscreen interface paired with simple visual programming. Core is based on no-code automation, making it accessible to everyone.
Leading the project, Mr. Conrade, KMHS chief operating officer, is very excited about the opportunity presented to Kellenberg students.
He says, “These robotic arms will open up many opportunities for interested students to experience and learn firsthand about robotic technology, Virtual Reality applications in robotics, software development, and AI applications in the emerging workforce.”
He continued to explain that the skills to be harnessed in these opportunities have many pathways after high school and college study, especially in medicine, engineering, IT-related fields, construction, logistics, and manufacturing.
STEM classes and extracurriculars will be able to see firsthand the development of robotic technology and the outlook of such applications in the future. Additionally, prospective students will also have the opportunity to witness the Core in action at Kellenberg. High school and Latin school students will be exposed to the growing world of robotics and how virtual and AI applications will impact the workforce in engineering, healthcare, and tech fields.
Standard Bots is a Long Island-based company who creates opportunities to bring robots into every home and business by developing easy-to-use software and improved hardware.
