The collaborative robotics lab has been made possible through Lilly Endowment’s Charting the Future for Indiana’s Colleges and Universities grant funding. VU’s $8 million “Developing a Workforce Ecosystem for Industry 4.0 in Indiana†grant brings together innovative solutions and technology to accelerate key technical skills in Indiana’s advanced manufacturing and logistics workforce.
