Popular applications for collaborative robots
Collaborative robots are growing in many industries and are being increasingly used in applications including, pick and place, packaging and quality inspection.
Cultivating robotics and AI for sustainable agriculture
Technology advances ranging from better autonomous vehicles to smarter machines will help relieve the effects of an aging agricultural workforce and a shrinking supply of workers.
Exoskeletons boost productivity and safety for manufacturers
Exoskeletons can make workers safer on the manufacturing floor, and they will become more common as mobility and cost concerns become less of an issue.
AI robotic pills can help cows improve milk production
A tiny AI robotic pill may soon help farmers improve their cows’ milk production if they are feeling anxiety or stress. The technology behind this pill might be used to improve human surgeries in the future.
Robotic offline programming increases manufacturing production
Robotic offline programming (OLP) reduces initial setup time, programming time, and changeover and alteration time for manufacturers.
Proximity-based safety improves robot movement and efficiency
Moving to proximity-based safety can release space and improve production efficiency by allowing robots and workers more freedom of movement on the shop floor.
Collaborative robots designed for space navigation
NASA believes collaborative robots are better suited for a mission to Titan, which is Saturn's largest moon, as they try to learn more about its surface and atmosphere.
