Welcome to Robot Factories - little by little, intelligent machines are taking over the manufacturing sector.
Industrial Robots have been around for several decades, and they have become more sophisticated right along with the advancements in related technologies.
Here's an army of Nachi robots building the inner body for the Chrysler 300. While the rest of the world goes ga-ga over that little tea-serving fancy-pants poser Asimo, these guys work 24/7 to keep us cruisin' in style.
Robots don't always make hard goods like automobiles. Here's a robot factory plant in Spain making croissants. The gift of robot vision allows robots to perform tasks that aren't preprogrammed in space with exact coordinates like you would find in the automobile factory above. Pretty cool...
From Korea, here is a 30 second commercial from Hyundai - showcasing how robots put together their Santa Fe with exact precision.
Technical University of Berlin uses the Festo fluidic muscles in a completely different manner. The project has evolved from a functional study of a simple robot arm in 2000 to a fully developed torso and two anthropomorphic arms and five-fingered hands. So, besides vision, dexterity of hands and fingers will also allow robot fabrication to evolve to new levels. The humanoid hands allow for very precise movements - so they can be used in high danger or inaccessible environments.
Thanks for stopping by www.RobotFactories.com . As new articles and news items relating to robots in the manufacturing sector appear around the Internet, they will be added to this growing website.
