UliK is a visionary artist who joined the Industrial Revolution 4.0 by designing the world’s first RoboCircus. It is an industrial robot that he modified for the entertainment and amusement industry. The combination of inventions, their distinctive humor and their spontaneity make the RoboCircus a real pleasure and the most outstanding thing at festivals. His
In manufacturing, different products need different, and often specialized functions. Industrial robots provide novel solutions that allow you to meet the demands and helps you stay in the current market. Industrial robots have proven to be highly effective and offer quick solutions. They shine in the Pick and Place processes where continuous production speed is
Today’s robots offer many novel features such as adaptive flexibility, easy integration, and mobility. These enhancements allow faster start-up and programming, as well as more efficient and stable processes, which help them in carrying out activities that require delicate mechanisms. ABB is a leader in industrial automation and enjoys a good reputation globally. Adding to
Robots are multipurpose. They can be used in industrial manufacturing, in restaurants as service providers, and recently, they have shown that they can also be used in healthcare. Apart from this, there are many studies that demonstrate the successful use of robots in artistic endeavors. This time the purpose of using a robot was applied
3D printing processes are being increasingly used in the world right now. In combination with industrial robots, 3D printing technology is an excellent option for those seeking to design products on a large scale with smart manufacturing. Some time ago two designers Petr Novikov and Sasa Jokic, from the Institute of Advanced Architecture of Catalonia,
Developments with robotic technology have been mostly applied to the automotive industry sector. Ford is one of the pioneers in acquiring robotic automation systems among the many industrial automotive giants that are trying to get their hands on different automotive factories considered solutions. On one occasion, Ford VOME (Vehicle Manufacturing Engineering), Dürr Assembly Products, and
Yaskawa Motoman has one of the most comprehensive collaborative hybrid robots on the market—the HC10DT. It comes with features such as easy integration and simple programming. It is a robot that’s guided by an operator, and the movements of the robot and the gripper can be monitored using the switch box. It can also function
Professor Pedro Cárdenas, from the Department of Mechanical and Mechatronic Engineering at the National University of Colombia (UNAL), and a group of students of Mechatronic Engineering—Juregn Krejci, Alejandro Marín, Sebastián Realpe, Johan Ramírez, and Luis Rodríguez—developed a new robotic classification system as part of the final project of their Robotics course. They used spare parts
A common perception of robots is that they’re high-cost and high-maintenance resources. To some extent, this is true as most unused manufacturing robots can cost anywhere between USD 50,000 to 80,000 and require regular upgrades.
