The CeTI Robolab was buzzing with a different kind of energy this past Sunday as we hosted our latest Parent-Child Robotics Workshop. Moving away from the typical classroom setting, the event invited families to step into the shoes of engineers and explorers, transforming a quiet weekend into a hands-on journey through the world of human-machine collaboration.
The heart of the session centered on our Cobots from Universal Robots. These collaborative robots provided the perfect entry point for young tech enthusiasts and their parents to experiment with high-end technology in a safe, intuitive environment. From the first moment of “lead-through” programming, where participants physically guided the robotic arms to teach them movements, to the successful execution of complex tasks, the room was filled with a sense of shared discovery. It wasn’t just about code; it was about the tactile experience of seeing digital commands translate into precise, physical action.
This workshop highlighted the core of our mission at CeTI: making the Tactile Internet tangible for everyone. By bridging the gap between professional research and community engagement, we witnessed firsthand how robotics can foster teamwork between generations. Watching parents and children solve technical puzzles together serves as a powerful reminder that the future of technology is not just about automation, but about enhancing human connection and creativity. We thank all our participants for their curiosity and look forward to welcoming more future inventors to the lab soon.
