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)
Industrial robots are now widely employed in the rapidly expanding e-commerce and logistics industries. In the growing business of logistics and e-commerce, industrial robots are increasingly used for activities. Picking unsorted products requires speed-optimized lean robot kinematics with a long arm and very narrow wrists, as well as advanced image processing technologies, for greater reach.
ABB and its two new OmniCore controller partners. The new E10 and V250XT controllers, available for a number of robots in ABB’s portfolio, expand the control capabilities of advanced robots in a wide variety of industries, from electronics assembly to automotive, logistics and construction. The E10 controller was designed to supply ABB SCARA robots and
Pick and place activities are prevalent in most robotic applications, both in industry (machine care, assembly or palletizing / depalletizing), as well as service sectors. These autonomous procedures are, therefore, more than consolidated in specific organized contexts and with certain types of components. When components with high variability or in less situations must be handled,
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
An advisory committee at the Manufacturing Automation and Robotics Summit 2019, discussed typical topics associated with automation installations and how companies can master them. UK manufacturing companies are forced to adapt to the confluence of major trends in labor supply, consolidation of the supply chain and optimization of the balance between quality and cost, a
With a focus on flexibility, modularity and ease of use, KUKA AI North American nation presented various innovative automation technologies and solutions at the Canadian producing Technology Show 2021, as well as container selection and machine care. Fair attendees enjoyed innovations such as KR AGILUS 6-axis compact robots, KR C5 small robot controller, ready2_educate mobile
Artificial Intelligence (AI) makes it possible for machines to learn from past experiences and stimuli. It has created robots and machines currently capable of participating in numerous fields. This contribution has been considered of great importance to mankind. As technology advances, researchers are developing new and better forms of AI that can be easier and
Greater efficiency, greater profitability and greater flexibility: there are several advantages that are attributed to the automation of robotic methods within the plastics industry, which ultimately contributes to the optimization of the process. For midsize plastics processing companies, automating the production process gives them an edge over their competitors, whether it’s operating injection molding machines
