Kawasaki Robotics Debuts Educational Robotics Platform at IMTS Smartforce Summit

Kawasaki Robotics is launching its new educational robotics platform, Astorino, at the upcoming 2024 IMTS Smartforce Student Summit in Chicago. Designed for industrial/technical education providers, Astorino equips students with hands-on experience using real-world skills needed for the future of American manufacturing.

Astorino aims to advance industrial robotics education by eliminating barriers to entry for educators.

The platform provides students with advanced robotics design tools, preparing them for real-world application environments.

Astorino: Kawasaki's Educational Robotics Platform

Astorino, named after Kawasaki Robotics' development partner, ASTOR, is a cost-effective robotic platform that offers the capabilities of modern industrial robots at a lower cost than competitors.

It leverages Kawasaki Robotics' technology expertise with a 1kg payload, 6-axis robot with a structure and programming environment similar to a Kawasaki industrial robot.

The robot is powered by a 110V outlet, making it adaptable to any classroom environment.

With a base price of $5000, it is affordable for educators, enabling a low student-to-equipment ratio and allowing students to spend more time directly working with the robots.
