RoboSAM Can Assess Its Situation and Call a Human for Help When It Needs Assistance

09/22/15, 08:44 AM | Industrial Robotics | Analysis and Trends, integrators

If the robot is not sure whether it can complete the task-for example if the part is "buried" within the bin-it takes pictures of its situation and calls a remotely located human (the "human on call") for help.

3 Key Ways Automation Reduces Safety and Ergonomic Concerns

09/15/15, 08:46 AM | Industrial Robotics, Factory Automation | integrators, Safety and Standards | Seegrid

As companies continue to rely on automation to remain competitive, employees will have the benefit of working in safer environments. In the years to come, the question won't be "Is your company automating?" but instead "How is your company automating?"

194 Chinese Robot Companies

08/25/15, 08:21 AM | Industrial Robotics | china | The Robot Report

The robotics industry is booming in China. Companies are deploying thousands of robots in all types of factories, particularly in the auto industry. Chinese companies that manufacture robots and their components are also growing. This article will focus on the 107 makers of those robots.

Breaking down the robot-factory language barrier

08/18/15, 07:49 AM | Industrial Robotics, Factory Automation | integrators, software

In most industrial settings, robots speak one language and the plants within which they work speak another.

The Exploding Use of Robotics in Logistics and Manufacturing

08/13/15, 07:35 AM | Industrial Robotics | integrators, logistics

The future of robotics contains the same level of certainty as the sun's rising in the morning. Robots are becoming an integrated portion of the workforce, and they will be there every day thereafter, unless a company ditches robotics altogether.

Researching your first robot purchase? Don't be intimidated.

08/11/15, 08:12 AM | Industrial Robotics | integrators | OCTOPUZ Robotics

If you're considering a robot, you probably have a good sense of the process that you'd like to automate. With that information, an integrator can get the process started, determining the client's needs and the best type of robot for the job.

The Crowning Conclusion: Universal Robots Saves 9 Hours of Production Time at Glidewell Laboratories

07/30/15, 06:53 AM | Industrial Robotics, Unmanned & Other Topics | CNC, integrators | Universal Robots USA

Having a UR5 robot tend four CNC machines milling dental crowns optimizes a substantial part of the production cycle at Glidewell Laboratories in Newport Beach, California.
