Educational collaborative robots represent next-generation devices useful for training youth in engineering.   Teaching children how to operate robots is fundamental tonext generation education.  
 
Collaborative robots promise to bring the biggest change in human labor that has ever occurred.  The market for education of workers to use the collaborative products is potentially a huge market.
 
The ability to use humans alongside robots instead of robots to replace human labor in factories and service jobs is a big deal.  Whereas robotic ability to complete repetitive tasks with speed, strength, and precision has been hampered, collaborative robots change that situation.  Until now, industrial robots have been designed to work autonomously with safety assured by isolation from human contact.  Collaborative robots change that dynamic.
