Case study demonstrates educational robotics improving digital competencies in students, suggesting its role is crucial for adapting to Industry 4.0 and 5.0 demands.
This study explores the integration of educational robotics into the development of digital competencies essential for Industry 4.0 and 5.0. These industrial paradigms are defined by automation, interconnected cyber-physical systems, value chain integration, and digitalisation. In this environment, digital skills become strategically vital. Didactic robotic platforms, such as the Wlkata Mirobot, offer students hands-on opportunities to develop these abilities in a practical and interdisciplinary context. When combined with technologies like digital twins, the Internet of Things, and simulation tools, educational robotics fosters both technical proficiency and adaptability to evolving industrial demands. The presented case study demonstrates the design, construction, and experimental setup of a functional laboratory mini-line using the Wlkata Mirobot. The focus is placed on layout design, robot programming, and simulation-based process optimization to reflect real industrial processes. This study also presents student feedback and performance indicators from repeated trials to illustrate the educational and operational potential of the solution.
