Ohio Northern University (www.onu.edu) and the Kuka Robotics Corporation (www.kukarobotics.com) opened a state-of-the-art robotics center at Ohio Northern University n March. The center is at the university's campus in Ada, Ohio. It will enable the university to continue to offer cutting-edge educational programs to its students. Ohio Northern University is the only private college in the U.S. certified by the National Association of Industrial Technology. Students use the robotics center to illustrate the fundamental concepts of automated control through a series of laboratory experiments ranging across multiple courses.

"The new robotic equipment and the new center will provide our students with an educational opportunity second to none," said Robert A. Manzer, Dean of the Ohio Northern University College of Arts and Sciences. "Such leading technology will make it possible for our students to gain a worldclass level of expertise."
