FANUC, a global leader in industrial robotics, is reaffirming its dedication to technical training by becoming a Premium Sponsor of EuroSkills 2025, which will take place from September 9 to 13 in Herning, Denmark. This partnership reflects FANUC’s ongoing support for nurturing young talent in robotic systems integration. EuroSkills, part of the WorldSkills Europe network,
Industry 4.0 demands increasingly specialized and efficient solutions, especially in critical environments like cleanrooms. In this context, KUKA Robotics has taken a significant leap forward with its latest innovation: the KMR iisy CR. This autonomous mobile robot (AMR) not only sets new standards in all-terrain robotics but also redefines automation in ultra-clean environments such as
Depalletization, the process of removing products from a pallet, is a fundamental task in logistics and manufacturing. For years, this work has been labor-intensive, repetitive, and physically demanding, making it prone to human error and injury. However, with the advancement of industrial robotics and computer vision, the question of whether to automate depalletization has become
Collaborative robots like the UR10 are reshaping industrial painting in remarkable ways. One standout example is Brandt A/S, a Danish company with over 60 years of experience. In October 2024, the International Federation of Robotics (IFR) released a study highlighting how integrating UR10 cobots in finishing operations has enhanced precision, consistency, and efficiency across the
Realtime Robotics, a leader in collision-free robotic motion planning, has announced two major new integrations for its Resolver platform: direct compatibility with the 3D simulation software Visual Components and with MELSOFT Gemini, Mitsubishi Electric’s simulation tool. Resolver is a cloud-based platform developed to automate the most tedious aspects of robotic cell design, such as path
In a context where labor shortages and strict hygiene demands remain persistent challenges in the food industry, automation has become a key solution. A notable example is the collaboration between Active8 Robots and KUKA, which has revolutionized the sandwich packaging process in the UK through the integration of KR AGILUS HM robots. The British sandwich
In the age of advanced automation, industrial robots have become indispensable players within production facilities. Their efficiency, precision, and ability to operate continuously are highly valued. Yet, with their growing presence comes a crucial responsibility: ensuring the safety of human operators who interact with these machines. Protecting robots and robotic cells is not merely about
Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) has introduced an innovative testing system designed to ensure the long-term durability and comfort of its luxury vehicle seats. The company employs four highly specialized robots, known as KUKA Occubots, to replicate what amounts to ten years of intense seat usage in just a matter of days. These robotic testers simulate
The strategic alliance between Universal Robots (UR), a global leader in collaborative robots, and Nvidia, a prominent name in artificial intelligence and accelerated computing, is redefining the industrial robotics landscape. This collaboration has led to innovations that not only enhance the capabilities of existing cobots but also unlock new categories of applications that were previously
When we think of industrial robots, we often picture a mechanical arm lifting heavy objects. The ABB IRB 6640 3.2-130 certainly fits that image—it’s a robust piece of machinery capable of handling loads of up to 130 kg across a reach of 3.2 meters. But its true value lies in the advanced technology embedded within,
