MCCTC Building Local AI and Robotics Programs

At Ohio Tech Day 2026, the MCCTC showcased local innovation in AI and robotics education, with students demonstrating desktop-based offline AI models and programming FANUC industrial robots. Educators are encouraging students to use AI as a tool to accelerate learning and work, rather than bypass it. The program emphasizes hands-on experience in programming, wiring, and troubleshooting industrial systems to prepare students for the increasing integration of robotics in manufacturing.
