Healing Manufacturing’s Trillion Dollar Migraine (Part 2)

In Part 1 , we highlighted why while robot automation has advanced, we still have a long way to go.
Here, we discover why we cannot keep building robot solutions the traditional way.
We need a paradigm shift in robot system design to achieve hyper-automation.
Robots Have “Force” Seek Jedi Master.
The industrial robot industry is a whopping $16 billion</a>.
The market is worth double that when factoring in all the components and services that feed into this industry (International Federation for Robotics).
Industrial robots can be re-programmed and used for various applications.
The most versatile of industrial robots today are articulate robot arms — sophisticated electro-mechanical machines but with no “intelligence” associated.
These robot arms can operate with three to even seven degrees of freedom.
An significant evolution from the early days of rigid automation for every type of motion.
Robots today can repeat their movements with high precision.
They can move away from a position and then return to it with as little as 0.01 mm difference from the previous time it occupied the place.
This is known as position repeatability.
Additionally, they completely dwarf human ability by achieving speeds upto 3 m/s, and payload capacities of several hundred kilograms.
However, they are limited in situations where they need to adapt to dynamic conditions.
What are some complex jobs for robots?
· Bin Picking & Placing— Identifying items from a bin, picking the right one irrespective of orientation and accurately orienting the item as required
· Working with screws — Picking up screws, placing them in the right hole, and holding it right while making the first few turns.
