University of Nicosia Enhances Robotics Education Through the Provision of RoboDK Software

The University of Nicosia is pleased to announce a valuable addition to its Robotics education and training capabilities through the provision of RoboDK (https://robodk.com), a leading robot simulation and offline programming platform. The software will support practical learning in robotics, enabling students to explore robot kinematics, simulate robotic operations, and develop programming skills using tools widely applicable across industry.

This initiative is made possible through the provision of software licenses by RoboDK, supporting the integration of industry-relevant simulation and programming tools into university education. The availability of the software will further strengthen the University’s efforts to enhance engineering education through practical, technology-driven learning and closer alignment with industrial practice.

Empowering Students with Industry-Relevant Robotics Tools

RoboDK is a robot-agnostic simulation and programming platform that supports more than 1,400 robot arms from over 90 manufacturers. Its versatility enables students to develop transferable robotics skills that can be applied across different robot brands, configurations, and industrial applications.

Through access to RoboDK, students will be able to:

  • Simulate robotic systems and explore robot kinematics, motion, and workspace capabilities.
  • Develop and test robot programs in a virtual environment before implementing them on physical robotic systems.
  • Connect simulation with practical robotics by applying programming and simulation concepts to the University’s robotic arms, bridging virtual testing with hands-on implementation.
  • Explore industrial robotics applications, including robotic manipulation, manufacturing, and automated processes.
  • Develop transferable programming skills applicable to a wide range of industrial robot brands and applications.
  • Strengthen practical engineering skills through the use of professional simulation tools and supporting educational resources.

Strengthening Robotics Education and Industry Readiness

The availability of RoboDK will contribute to the continued development of robotics education at the University of Nicosia, bridging theoretical concepts with practical engineering applications. By combining virtual robot simulation and programming with hands-on implementation using physical robotic systems, students will gain valuable experience in developing, testing, and refining robotic applications in a controlled environment.

The University of Nicosia extends its sincere appreciation to RoboDK for this generous software donation and supporting the advancement of robotics education. This contribution represents a valuable addition to the University’s teaching resources, helping equip future engineers with the knowledge and practical skills required to address emerging challenges in robotics, automation, and advanced manufacturing.
