Cameras give industrial vision-guided robots human-like functions

Control Engineering

Empowering a robot to ‘see’ allows it to precisely and consistently differentiate, pick, sort, move, weld or assemble various parts no matter their complexity. For instance, a multiple-step manual welding task on an automobile assembly line might take ten ‘blind’ robots to perform since each part must be mounted in place before every weld.

Four manufacturing applications that benefit from under-rider AMRs

Control Engineering

AMR insights Autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) can play a key role in manufacturing because of their name: They’re autonomous and do not require constant human intervention the way an automated guided vehicle (AGV) would. Figure 3: AMRs are playing a much larger role to play in improving efficiency and safety in warehouse automation.

AMRs and AMVs Create Safer Surroundings and Adjust Workflows Quickly

Fabricating & Metal Work

AI-enabled mobile robots can transform sectors like discrete manufacturing, logistics and laboratories,” Segura said. This paves the way for a shift from linear production lines to dynamic networks, creating significant efficiencies and taking on more dull, dirty and dangerous tasks, to enable workers to take up more rewarding jobs.”
