Automation, Robotics, and HMI Activity Card

This scenario-based instructional activity card, from the ATE 2.0: Preparing Technicians for the Future of Work project, was created to support the implementation of the Cross-Disciplinary STEM CORE Framework. This framework has the following three skill areas: Data Knowledge and Analysis, Advanced Digital Literacy, and Business Knowledge and Processes. Instructional activity cards were created for each skill area. These instructional cards can be used as micro-lessons to introduce new technology skills into the classroom.

This Automation, Robotics, and HMI card is part of the Advanced Digital Literacy skill area. The first three pages of the card define automation, robotics, and HMI; and then describes how a technician will use them. The card also lists information about vocabulary, education, future trends and more. The last page includes the activity, which "asks students to explore industries that are early adopters of robotics and automation and one that has potential for transformation - the construction industry."

The Cross-Disciplinary STEM Core Framework and other activity cards are available to view separately.
