Summary
Thirty robots have entered a new Hangzhou vocational school, where they will study one of four majors and must pass evaluations before becoming eligible for employment.
The program aims to fix a gap between production and practical use: China added 295,000 industrial robots last year, but many still lack the adaptability needed to work alongside humans.
Courses focus on art, technology, sports or healthcare while also testing safety, ethics, intelligence, aesthetic sensibility and physical ability in daily-life settings.
Robots that clear a joint assessment by the school and the Zhejiang Institute of Quality Science receive a Certificate of Professional Skill Level, and the school says it will keep tracking graduates' performance.
