Training 4 – Nicosia (Chipre)
..
The fourth training of the ROBVET project took place from November 27th to 29th, 2023, in Nicosia, Cyprus, hosted by Synthesis Center for Research and Education. This training brought together all project partners with the aim of evaluating the progress of the demonstrators, addressing technical challenges, and advancing the integration of the MyCobot280 robot into applications related to Industry 4.0, the Internet of Things (IoT), and Artificial Intelligence (AI).
The first day began with a warm welcome at the HUBNICOSIA facilities, where Synthesis and the project coordinator, IES Pablo de Olavide, officially launched the event. Each partner then delivered a practical presentation of their demonstrators, showcasing their progress with the MyCobot280 robot, the programming approaches implemented, and the applications developed in their respective centers. These presentations allowed participants to analyze progress, highlight achievements, and identify common technical challenges.
Following a brief coffee break, the partners engaged in a collaborative discussion session where technical difficulties encountered during the development process were addressed. AIJU, as the technological partner, led the session by providing solutions and recommendations to optimize results. The day concluded with a coordination meeting, during which the next steps for finalizing the demonstrators were defined, and future work plans were outlined.
The second day focused on the refinement and optimization of the demonstrators. Practical sessions were dedicated to testing, evaluation, and enhancement of the robots. Participants worked on the integration of the MyCobot280 with advanced technologies, exploring its applications within Industry 4.0, IoT systems, and AI-powered processes. These activities enabled partners to adapt the robot to realistic scenarios involving automation, data collection, and sensor-based remote control.
In the afternoon, participants visited the Synthesis facilities, where they learned more about the center’s innovative projects in educational and technological development. The day concluded with a team dinner, strengthening relationships among partners and fostering informal discussions in a relaxed environment.
On the final day, participants took part in a quality evaluation session, presenting the results achieved during the training and gathering feedback for future improvements. The event concluded with a closing ceremony, where certificates of participation were awarded to all attendees, recognizing their contributions and efforts.
The C4 training in Nicosia was a crucial step for consolidating the progress of the MyCobot280 demonstrators, resolving technical challenges, and exploring innovative applications using emerging technologies. Participants emphasized the value of the collaborative sessions, which allowed for experience sharing, results optimization, and strengthened international cooperation. This training represented significant progress toward the completion of the practical scenarios, ensuring their effective implementation in vocational education centers and fulfilling the objectives of the ROBVET project.
