It will still be science fiction to some, but 3D printing is quickly breaking down typical engineering and design barriers and streamlining how the development business works. Last month, the city showed off Europe’s first 3D-printed house that was designed almost entirely by a robot. In recent years, the race to create the world’s first
The NSF was awarded to an interdisciplinary team that includes collaboration between the University of Minnesota Taubman School of Architecture and Urban Planning and the College of Engineering, as well as external research collaborations with the University of Florida and Washington State University. KUKA Robotics robots are helping the University of Michigan (U of M)
The LR-10iA/10 mounts on the floor, upside down, or at an angle. FANUC claims that the robot can be easily installed on an automated guided vehicle or other mobile platform to perform many repetitive tasks or to automate idle machines. FANUC America, a leading provider of CNC machines, robotics and robots, has introduced the new
When choosing a robotic welding system, manufacturers need to consider several components: WHAT ARE THE COSTS AND WHAT IS THE PROFITABILITY OF MY INVESTMENT? Today, most industries use modern welding technologies to take advantage of their advanced properties and versatility. Automated systems, such as orbital welding, have become a primary alternative in welding. They result
Several of them are based on the robot operating system, the standard open source framework for developing robotics applications. Organizations that develop and build robots must ensure that stability is a priority from the moment the robot design is conceived, and not an afterthought. Ensure stability By doing this, organizations run the risk of not
South Africa’s food and beverage (F&B) industry has never seen the future more uncertain as the consequences of Covid-19 have changed the consumption habits of changing consumers and retailers, supply networks have been halted along with analysis on food safety. They have been struggling to keep up with mega-trends like digitization and the evolution of
According to a survey by Ware2Go, 67 percent of Americans now work from home. This means that they require easier Internet shopping access. As COVID 19 reinvigorates the way Americans shop, e-commerce is becoming more important than ever. Claudia Jarrett, Country Director for EU Automation, a supplier of industrial components, explains why industries must turn
Industrial robots have been in use for over five decades now. First ever used by General Motors, they are now widely utilized across a range of industries and manufacturing facilities. That being said, one cannot deny that these robots are priced high, and continue to be out of reach for SMEs that want to benefit
