Randolph Community College has received a $45,000 grant from the Timken Foundation of Canton to purchase a FANUC Robotics' Certified Education Robot Training (CERT) unit for use in various curriculum and continuing education programs. CERT is a compact, portable, self-contained robotics educational laboratory that allows students to learn how to program a real robot, in real time, in a safe and controlled environment—anywhere it can be rolled to. The cart includes a six-axis, fully articulated industrial robot; an integrated vision system; programmable logic controller; and simulation software.
