Summary/Abstract: Among the factors able to shape the identity of the XXI century, human education is included (I am what I learn, how much I learn and how I learn, as well). The transposition of imperatives of the moment at educational level is reflected in the use of e-learning – a viable alternative to traditional educational methods. The authors of this paper aim to bring to attention the idea that by pedagogical valorisation, e-learning can move from the position of end in itself to that of means of rendering the educational endeavour more efficient; the appropriate use thereof bringing its contribution to the achievement of both the formative performance, requested by the realities of the moment, and the building of an individual architecture that no longer revolve solely around the concept of high volume, but to also turn to that of high value. Fructification of pedagogical – educational qualities of elearning, in conjunction with the need to find an appropriate response to the current challenges faced by the military environment – for instance the digitization of the battlefield – are able to generate educational content that reflect the cooperation between human intelligence and artificial intelligence. The example proposed in this material highlights the way in which, with the help of the Matlab R2011b software, the Robo Security – wheeled mini robot prototype, a project designed and built within the Advanced Logistic Technologies Laboratory, the Management and Technology Research Centre of the “Nicolae Bălcescu” Land Forces Academy from Sibiu – can be simulated and modelled to contribute to the military security field within virtual workspaces.
