ROBOTIX BLOG

Welcome to the Robotix Blog!

This Blog aims to provide resources, research, information and global events in the STEM, Robotics & coding fields.

We are excited about sharing and exchanging ideas about learning & education.

We hope Parents, educators & those interested in K12 STEM education will find these articles interesting.

Our mission is to make the next generation of children "Future Ready"

Phiro

The future will be filled with technological discoveries like autonomous cars, artificial intelligence, smart cities, etc. Mankind needs to prepare itself technologically in order to thrive in the future. The future Industry 4.0 includes ROS (Robotics Operating System), Automation, Internet of things, Cloud computing, and Cognitive Computing. Programming will be a necessity for the 21st century because top industries like Medical sectors, Educational sectors, and all types of Industries are going towards automation and soon people will be replaced with robots.
