To celebrate National Robotics Week, Yaskawa Motoman invited more than 350 students to take facility tours and speak with automation professionals about future job opportunities. Attendees also had the opportunity to see live robotics demonstrations. National Robotics Week was instituted by Congress as the second full week of April every year, and 2016 marks its seventh year. The purpose is to recognize robotics as a key technology for our nation’s economy and to foster interest in the STEM disciplines among students.
