RoboDK Launches RoboDK Academy to Bridge the Global Robotics Skills Gap
RoboDK has announced the launch of RoboDK Academy: a free, self-paced online training platform designed to make industrial robot programming skills more accessible than ever. The platform combines hands-on projects, step-by-step tutorials, and video walkthroughs to teach programming skills through simulation and offline programming, from beginner to advanced levels. The Academy serves engineers, automation professionals, students, and educators seeking to build robotics knowledge. As automation adoption has increased globally, industries are facing a new challenge: a shortage of skilled robot programmers. Gone are the days when robot programming skills were only required by large automotive manufacturers and specialist robot integrators.
