Yasakawa Motoman introduces STEM robotics platform

Yaskawa Motoman, a global robotics manufacturer headquartered in Miamisburg, has launched a newly designed STEM robotics platform for education, workforce development and industrial robotics certification programs, company officials announced Wednesday.

The platform is specifically designed for classrooms, robotics labs and robotics training centers, officials said.

The new design features a modular, lightweight cart, as well as a suite of fully integrated academic tools that includes the company’s web-based curriculum, offline modeling and programming tools, and a STEM-aligned activity template.

Yaskawa Motoman introduced the STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) platform this week at Automate 2015, a robotics and automation technologies conference in Chicago.

At the same event, Motoman’s parent company Yaskawa Electric Corp. of Japan announced a celebration of its 100-year anniversary in 2015. Yaskawa will commemorate the event with a new logo and corporate identity, officials said.
