Nils Beaussรฉ, head of the Usine du Futur Robotics training program and supervisor of theย Niryo 6-axis robotic armย project, tells us that one of the objectives and needs of his training program is to implement AI algorithms on these robotic arms.
The needs ofย ISEN Nantesย were above all to be able to benefit from non-industrial equipment, as the robotic arms on this market are very expensive.
This robotics โ factory of the future (industry 4.0) course therefore acquiredย Niryoโs 6-axis roboticย arms solely for the needs of this section. The arms are used for research into cobotics and robot-human interaction.

As mentioned above, Niryoโs educational robotic arms are used for a variety of purposes.ย Nils Beaussรฉย explains one of the projects carried out by his students:
โAs part of a final year project, a pair of students are working onย Niryo robots. Their objective is to translate the Niryo robot language with its own interface. The robots can communicate inย TCP IP and Modbus. The aim is to give the robots their own instructions usingย C languages, so that they can then link them with algorithms. They will thenย test the robots with different AI algorithms.โ
For the training course he is responsible for, Mr Beaussรฉ tells us what value Niryo brings:
โIn process and use,ย Niryo robotsย are similar to factory arms. So they enable us to see how things work on a smaller scale, and in an environment more suited to schools. Also, the robots are more experimentable, which meansย we can test a lot of thingsย on them before putting them on a big arm and modifying parts as needed. Ned2 is anย experimental robot perfect for schools.

As mentioned above, ISEN Nantes is a 300-student campus belonging to a group of 5 Yncrea campuses spread across France in Brest, Caen, Rennes and Paris. The engineering courses are divided into 15 different professional fields and are taught in 5 post-baccalaureate cycles: generalist, IT, mechanics, ergonomics and environment, with over 98% professional integration at the end of the course.
The brand-new 4000 square meter building, completed in 2021, offers students a pleasant living environment, enabling them to fully develop their skills in the new classrooms and computer rooms, as well as in the fully-equipped areas dedicated to cybersecurity, connected objects, electrical energy and the factory of the future.
