Comau Academy's Innovative Educational Projects at Bett UK Inspired Students with Robotics and AI

Summary

Comau attended BETT UK, organized at ExCeL London (Hall: Teaching & Learning Tech, Booth: SN 30, Jan. 22-24, 2025). With more than 30,000 educators, institutions and innovators, as well as 300 speakers from 130 countries, it represented Europe's most important exhibition dedicated to educational technologies.

At the Comau booth, visitors enjoyed hands-on experiences with Comau Academy experts while trying technologies such as “e.DO STEM,” a set of educational solutions dedicated to robotics. e.DO STEM featured the e.DO robot, which inspired new generations of students. In the area of artificial intelligence, Comau also offered “e.DO AI,” the robot with integrated AI solutions that provided completely new ways of learning and interacting with technology.

The fair was also an opportunity to learn about state-of-the-art robotic welding tools that tackled complex work applications through intelligent solutions. On this front, Comau collaborated with Seabery, the world leader in simulated welding training solutions, by presenting a cutting-edge robotic welding training program that promoted and expanded opportunities for an increasingly skilled workforce.

“Comau's participation at BETT UK highlighted our strengths in education, such as learning from the real world. In fact, we offered hands-on experiences in robotics, STEM and future professional roles based on different job requirements,” explained Stefano Pesce, director of Comau Academy. “Combining our strong knowledge in robotics and instructional design with innovative methodologies, we created a robust portfolio of training paths using inspiring tools that engaged students through revolutionary means, such as the e.DO robot and training stations.”

Comau operates within a global ecosystem focused on technological innovation and digital transformation with a major global impact, promoting the development of digital transformation leadership, and teaching skills to meet the future challenges of workers.

To support customers and foster the growth of the education market, Comau leveraged BETT UK 2025 to provide schools, universities and all visitors with its experience, expertise and proposals developed to deliver unparalleled and unique learning environments.

Visitors joined the BETT Show and discovered how Comau reshaped education to create a smarter, more connected world. Together, they designed the future of education and innovation.
