Abstract
This paper presents a virtual robotic manufacturing environment created with the program about Robotic Simulation Environments called Grasp10\(^{\copyright }\), which is used in teaching Robotics subjects. In this virtual environment, students must conduct a competition consisting of improving the working and financial performance of the line by introducing the changes they consider they will have positive impacts. The working of the line is based on motion and tasks planning of the different elements that take part in it. Economic performance is based on the application of different quantifiers as investment costs and benefits of exploitation. The highest grade when evaluating the solution will be for students who provide the most effective solutions from both the working and economical point of view.
