UBTECH Pioneering the Future of Robotics in STEM Education at NSTA 2018
Robotics innovator delivers new path forward for students to engage in STEM success
LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--UBTECH Robotics, a global leader in intelligent humanoid robots, is building on its commitment to STEM with a showcase at the 2018 National Science Teachers Association (NSTA) Conference in Atlanta, Georgia. The annual event brings together more than 10,000 educators from across the United States to promote excellence and innovation in science teaching and learning for all. As part of NSTA 2018, UBTECH will demonstrate its award-winning line of JIMU Robots that helps kids develop critical STEM skills in a fun, hands-on environment in booth #656. The conference takes place March 15-18, 2018 at the Georgia World Congress Center.
"UBTECH is bringing STEM learning to life with JIMU Robots," said Jeff Piontek, Head of Education, North America. "By inspiring creativity and innovation through robotics at a young age, we are laying the foundation for a love of STEM that will potentially lead to the pursuit of STEM-related degrees and ultimately careers."
UBTECHs STEM-focused curriculum incorporates Next Generation Science Standards and Common Core Standards, allowing students to learn to design, code and engage with robots in a meaningful way. Students acquire key scientific concepts through a hands-on learning experience while gaining critical soft skills including collaboration, team building and communication.
"STEM skills are paramount to success in the 21st century workforce," said John Rhee, General Manager, North America. "Just 20 percent of todays workforce possess the skills required to fulfill tomorrows jobs. UBTECH is dedicated to closing this STEM skills gap and leading the movement to prepare kids for a brighter future."

Featured Product
3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!
This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
