Are the students prepared for the jobs of tomorrow?

New reality

The future is already here. Robots are becoming a reality in many industries. This is something that everyone accepts. From manufacturing and healthcare to agriculture and retail, robots are being used to perform a variety of tasks, and their capabilities are only expanding. The goal is not to substitute the human workers, but just to help them with repetitive tasks, to be focused on more important tasks.

‍

A concern that many people have, is how they will be able to program a robot if they don’t have the necessary skills. This is exactly the problem that the No-Code platform Mimic solves. We know that the robotics industry is undergoing a significant shift, moving away from programming-intensive robots that require advanced programming skills. Instead, robots are now being trained using no-code robotics platforms, which allow users to easily program a robot using simple hand gestures or a joystick. This change is making it possible for anyone to control a robot, not just engineers, but it will also require new skills and perspectives.

Mimic in schools

This is exactly the reason why students need to be prepared for the jobs of tomorrow. Nordbo’s target is to turn the students of today into the superusers of tomorrow. We decided to focus on the new generations because we are sure that the skills that kids get in school ages, should be aligned with the future that they will face. And we can guarantee that the future will be full of robotics!

One of the most impressive features of modern robots is their ability to learn and adapt. This ability is what allows them to be used in a variety of settings, from manufacturing to research to education. Nordbo Robotics is at the forefront of this shift with the unique no-code platform called Mimic. Mimic allows students to quickly build their own robotics applications, making them accessible to students of all ages and backgrounds. The platform allows users to simply demonstrate their hand movements to the robot, which then learns to mimic those movements. This makes it easy for anyone to use, even those with no programming experience.

‍

Not only is the No-code platform convenient for workers, but it is also an excellent tool for educational institutions. The Mimic platform, in particular, is a versatile, easy-to-use, and playful platform that allows students of any age to build their own robotics applications. While having fun and learning new skills, students can also gain valuable practical experience that will prepare them for the workplace. Plus, with the No-code platform, there is no need for students to have any coding knowledge in order to use it – making it accessible to anyone.

UCL University College:

Mimic’s design makes the robot accessible for students who would otherwise not be attracted to robotics. Usually, our program takes the students through manual controls that generally lead to a lot of frustration. However, using Mimic as a tool to gradually develop their skills over time is often preferable.

‍

Overall, αs the future of robotics continues to evolve, and it is important for students to have the skills and knowledge necessary to succeed in this rapidly growing industry. With the help of no-code platforms like Mimic, students can get a head start and be prepared for the jobs of tomorrow.
