STEM INSIDE AUG 15 TO AUG 19 ROBOTICS & AUTOMATION WITH IRISH MANUFACTURING RESEARCH (IMR) ROBOTICS WITH IMR SCHEDULE
Did you know that there are robots that can mimic the functions of the human arm? Robotic arms are becoming increasingly common in manufacturing where they are programmed to execute a specific task or job. In fact, every car on the road has been built in part by a team of robot arms. They have the ability to change people’s lives by doing the boring and dangerous tasks that people don’t want to do like painting, welding or dull repetitive assembly tasks. You’ll have the chance to learn about the fundamentals of robotics and automation by programming a robotic arm with IMR that can help us with precise and repetitive tasks.
First things first!
You will receive a robotic arm kit in the post from us, with an email sent in advance to let you know it’s on its way. Do not start without us as we’ll be taking those steps together and learning from the build along the way!

What's the story with IMR?
Irish Manufacturing Research is a manufacturing Research & Technology Organisation (RTO) that supports the Irish Manufacturing Sector to adopt cutting edge technologies in order to retain a competitive edge in a globalised environment. We work directly with industry partners to de-risk and de-mystify new and emerging technologies and to deliver high-impact collaborative research.
Due to the novelty of the technology IMR enables industry to address challenges that no-one has solved before. However, because we are so close to industrial application of these technologies, we have to make sure what we do works, that it is suitable for an established company and it has a reputation and existing production streams to protect.
IMR to get Irish workforce ready for industry 4.0
And what about the IMR team? What's it like to work with them?
