Empowering Education with Robotic Kits for Schools, Colleges, and Universities

Embrace the Future of Production with Low-Cost Automation

The rapid rise of digitalization is reshaping production and driving demand for new technical skills. To equip the next generation of engineers, specialists, and managers for these evolving challenges, our igus® Low-Cost Automation (LCA) line offers educational robotic kits specifically designed to bridge the gap between theory and real-world automation.

Hands-On Experience: Built with industry-grade igus® robots, our kits deliver practical, real-world training in industrial robotics for a smooth transition into the workforce.
Affordable Solutions: Customise learning experience with flexible options, from building individual components to complete systems, tailored to your specific class requirements.

Low Cost Automation in everyday teaching

What is the best way to embed theoretical knowledge in the mind? By applying it. Low Cost Automation is already integrated into educational institutions, empowering students on their educational journey.
