HRG Robotics has made efforts to accommodate the emerging robotic talent development market. It has created a comprehensive educational system for industrial robots with self-study tutorials, learning systems, and brick-and-mortar training schools in a range of Chinese cities, including Shenzhen, Hefei, Chongqing, Changsha, and Yangzhou.

The company also has partnered with a wide array of renowned companies, domestic and abroad, to explore new educational approaches, such as designing training programs and educational materials for specific robot products, organizing competitions that promote advanced robotic technologies, and building connections with academic institutes and corporations to find and develop talent for the industry. Such events include:

• In 2016, HRG Robotics teamed up with ABB to hold the first industrial robot stimulation competition that targeted college students. The 2017 competition application is now open.
