The robotics and mechanical department at Sault College will be receiving a massive upgrade to their hands-on programming.
Students in robotics, automated manufacturing, and the Bachelor of Engineering and Mechatronics program will learn how to use these machines, which is great news for the school as well as Sault Ste. Marie, according to Sault College president David Orazietti. “With these robots, it will let us teach students on a new model of robot and give us the opportunity to make sure that they’re prepared for the industry,” he said. “These are robots that are used all over the place, so it’s an excellent opportunity.”
“That age doesn’t mean anything for a robot,” he said. “They’re in the prime of their life, so they can be used here for educational purposes.”
