Robo4Ever – Robotics for Everyone

Technologies such as robotics and artificial intelligence are increasingly permeating areas of society beyond industrial applications – such as care, education and social services. Low-threshold, reflective access to these technologies is needed to ensure sustainable participation in a post-digital society.

The Robo4Ever – Robotics for Everyone project is developing an interdisciplinary teaching and learning format that gives students from all disciplines practical and critical access to autonomous mobile robots. The focus is on a research-based learning approach in which students develop their own application scenarios, implement them in model form and reflect on them in teams.

By combining technical fundamentals with an examination of social, ethical and design issues, the project promotes the acquisition of so-called future skills – such as judgement, innovation competence and interdisciplinary work. A specially developed graphical programming environment enables the robots to be programmed without prior knowledge.

Robo4Ever is a project of the Ostfalia University of Applied Sciences (Prof. Dr. Dagmar Meyer) and is associated with the Leibniz Science Campus Postdigital Participation. The aim is to develop transferable concepts for postdigital education in higher education.

Project duration: April 2025 – March 2027
