EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES OF E-LEARNING IN RENDERING DIDACTIC ACTIVITIES MORE EFFICIENT REFLECTED IN THE USE OF THE ADEPT COBRA E-VARIO ROBOT

Summary/Abstract: The emergence of e-learning in the contemporary educational environment (as viable alternative to traditional education methods) is able to develop the inquiring-creative spirit to improve the quality of learning experiences, to ensure the conversion of scientific research results into econtents. The authors of this paper intend to highlight the fact that the presence of the Adept Cobra EVario robot within the Research Centre for Management and Technology – The Advanced Logistic Technologies Laboratory of the “Nicolae Bălcescu” Land Forces Academy from Sibiu, as a result of research grant no.59/2010, is in a position to contribute to the harmonization of theoretical approaches to practical-applicative ones, to increase the level of performance, to exploit the creative potential and, last but not least, to emphasize the necessity and utility of transposing scientific research findings in the field of educational activities. In addition, the authors aim to bring to the attention a case study on the deformations that can occur in the modules composing the robot under study during its operation within a flexible work cell with a parallel organization. Based on the calculation of efforts, diagrams and emerging requests in the mechanical structure of the robot during its operation in dynamic mode, using finite element design software’s, ways to improve and functionally optimize the robot during its activity will be determined. This paper is also a mouthpiece for the authors intention to designate a way in which contemporary technological realities can contribute to the shaping of a favourable environment for the educational endeavour, enrolling in the direction of promoting good practice examples in the realm of science and education, respectively.
