Manufacturing processes have benefited from robotic automation systems—helping grow industrial processes by keeping them competitive in the industrial sector while simultaneously improving products, work environment, and safety. Today’s automated factories—or smart factories—have managed to bet on the concept of sustainability by applying the innovations of new technologies. A specialized group of 12 researchers, manufacturers, and … Read more

The use of robots in manufacturing applications has revolutionized industrial processes by eliminating the risks human workers faced from dangerous activities such as spot welding and mining. Industrial robots are more efficient and cost-effective than people are, and therefore, provide products of more consistent quality and with greater throughput. For a long time since their … Read more

Robotic automation improvements are the order of the day. Currently, there is a great demand for technology, especially in the industrial sector. But acquiring robotic automation has a high cost as it is always improving. Different modifications include price improvements, speed improvements, time improvements, energy efficiency improvements, precision and repeatability improvements. They continually and opportunely … Read more

Scara robots have been designed to optimize the tasks of assembling small parts. They can be efficiently used to perform tasks as they can handle high speeds, and provide excellent repeatability and great load capacity and inertia. ABB released a Robot Control Mate plugin for its RobotStudio simulation and its offline programming software that has … Read more

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 … Read more

We are living through one of the most difficult moments of humanity, as we fight against a highly contagious virus that has led us to isolate ourselves. COVID-19 has taken many lives, but during this trying time, we have identified something that is in favor of “technology.” The economy has suffered considerable variations. Millions of … Read more
