We were thrilled to present the A3 Robot Safety Award at the VEX Ohio Championship, hosted at the National Museum of the United States Air Force in Dayton, Ohio. This was our fourth time piloting this award, and the level of student talent made it one of the most competitive judging processes yet! 👏 Congratulations to Team #7316V# - VOLTAGE! from Firestone High School of Akron Public Schools! Their deep understanding of safety standards like ANSI R15.06 and R15.08, as well as their commitment to risk assessment, set them apart. One team member even dug up old manuals—completely unprompted—showing just how dedicated these students are! 💡 A3 is committed to workforce development and STEM education. That’s why we’re excited to invite teams and educators to Automate 2025 (May 12-15 in Detroit)—the world’s largest automation trade show! This year, we’re introducing the Automate Student Challenge, where VEX teams will compete on the trade show floor in front of industry leaders and automation experts. Thanks to everyone who participated and we hope to see you at Automate 2025! #VEXRobotics# #STEM# #Automation# #Manufacturing# #Robotics# #A3Events# #AutomateShow# #Industry40#

Too many students—especially women and underrepresented minorities—drop out of STEM programs, not because they lack talent, but because they don’t see how it relates to their lives. Robert Stokes of @StokesRobotics explains how hands-on robotics and programming curriculum changes that: 🔹 Teaching Python, C++, and mechatronics with real-world applications 🔹 Giving students instant feedback by programming humanoid robots 🔹 Turning abstract coding exercises into interactive, engaging experiences When students see their code come to life, they stay engaged. 🎥 Watch the full interview with Robert Stokes → https://t.co/TgOEHs5dmf 📊 Get insights on the impact of humanoid robots from Lab to Factory in our latest report → https://t.co/0BHojuS0DT #IndustrialMaintenance# #IndustrialRobotics# #HumanoidRobots# #EducationalRobots#

Not sure which part of the new ISO 10218 standards applies to you? Here’s a quick breakdown: 🔧 Part 1: For Manufacturers Covers safety requirements for industrial robots themselves—focusing on design, construction, and functional safety. If you’re building robots, this part is for you. 🏭 Part 2: For System Integrators Focuses on robot systems and integration, ensuring safe interaction between robots, equipment, and humans. If you’re installing, programming, or operating robot systems, this is your guide. 💡 Both parts now feature clearer, more explicit requirements to make compliance simpler and safer for everyone. 🔗https://t.co/kqX0PLtwLD 👉 Which part impacts your work? Let us know below! #RobotSafety# #ISO10218# #IndustrialAutomation# #SafetyStandards# #AutomationExperts#
