Abstract

The current situation of increasing European and global competition and the resulting downward pressure on prices and forcing at companies use modern automated and robotic manufacturing systems. After the state of the art analysis evaluation there were certain conclusions gained, showing lack of information from the field of robotics among graduates. Low level of education in the field of robotics is caused by poor material and technical facilities at secondary schools as well as by poor level of theoretical and practical experiences of teaching staff. Therefore, the staffs are not able to pass on important and satisfactory level of education in the field of robotics. This clearly demonstrates the need and necessity of education in the field of robotics that can be adequately insured by professionally trained teachers. Teachers will benefit in terms of gaining the latest information and knowledge from the field of industrial and service robotics, which is now highly popular and attractive giving them the benefit of professionalism. The paper presents the works within the RUSOS project, which is focused on educating of teachers of secondary vocational schools in the field of robotics.
