The Robotics Institute Germany (RIG), supported by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF), connects leading robotics hubs across Germany. The institute aims to increase international visibility, attract top talent, and accelerate progress in AI-powered robotics.
Research-oriented teaching and future-oriented training in robotics and AI are also at the heart of the RIG talent program. The Deutsche Telekom Chair for Communication Networks is part of RIG and, as a partner, offers various school modules on the topic of robotics to help attract and train young talent.
Our modules:
1. Develop your clever everyday helper! How the Tactile Internet can help us in everyday life
The school module is run by CeTI in cooperation with RIG. We will show the different areas of application for robots that are already making our everyday lives easier. Using demonstrators from CeTI, we will explain the tactile internet and the associated real-time transmission of data. Building on this, the pupils can become active and, above all, creative themselves: They are supposed to develop their own everyday helper in the course of the workshop.
Curriculum reference:

2. Level Up! From beginner to robotics master in just 90 minutes
No idea about robotics? No problem! The newly developed “Level up!” school module is based on a digital twin of a real robot arm. Lesson by lesson, the world of robotics opens up at an individual learning pace. The content ranges from the basics of robotics to motion control and programming. Intuitively designed tasks are used to teach key concepts so that the robot can ultimately transport two packages from A to B using code you have written yourself. Those who want to experiment further afterwards can explore the robot arm freely in the Playground.
In the coming school year, the robotics module will be used in numerous schools in Saxony – an exciting opportunity to discover modern technologies in a practical way.
It was presented at the 6G Summit as part of the Robotics Institute Germany together with Wandelbots. Numerous interested parties tested the demonstrator and programmed an industrial robot within a very short time – without any previous knowledge.
