Precision Robotics and Automation: Hexapods Advance Production Processes
Traditional robots can handle heavy loads at high speed, but lack positioning accuracy. Hexapod robots - six-legged parallel-kinematic machines - have a long history in precision optics alignment & micro / nano-manufacturing automation. They were considered overkill for traditional industrial automation applications, but the need for miniaturization and higher precision is rapidly changing the situation. New high-speed fieldbus interfaces facilitate integration with PLC or CNC controllers.
Hot Jobs Study Reports IT a Top Industry
For entry level manufacturing positions, higher education is not normally required. Instead, a personal and commercial drivers license, and special certifications such as an Occupational Safety & Health Administration Certification, Food Safety Program education, and HAZM
Machine Covers & Way Protection
The close proximity of moving parts often excludes the feasibility of static protective enclosures. The machine tool may create an environment in which its parts must be protected from its work processes, yet need to move without obstruction.
Automated Parking Solutions
Most of the innovations in automated parking design have come from the architects and developers as they are now more conscious of integrating the garage into the overall design.
International Robot Exhibition 2017
With already 500 companies reserving to 2000 Exhibiting booths, IREX 2017 is again back this year to showcase the latest Robots in Japan.
Brainstorm the Future
Robots will take our jobs and "move the cheese" for those seeking to replace those jobs. Simply referring to the old adages (Cars put blacksmiths out of work ... and they survived) will not suffice in modern times.
Robots Are Going Their Two Separate Ways
Mobility is a powerful enabler to intelligent robots as it increases the utilization of the robot in different form factors (land-based, air-based/space/drones, water-based and wearable/exoskeleton) and various applications.
Robotic Surgery a Key Factor Driving Down Hospital Length of Stay
With robotics protocols, hospital length of stay (LOS) after some thoracic procedures at LVHN has declined significantly.
Rules of the (Driverless) Road: How Federal Guidelines Will Impact Innovation
Although some experts fear that rules and regulations might limit innovation, most see this step by the Federal government as a clear sign of validation for the imminent future of automated automotive transportation.
New Software to Coordinate Entire Work Cell
This new software is the first of its kind to connect all of your devices from a single controller, which extends the smart, flexible power of our robots to the entire work cell and provides unparalleled speed to deployment.
Are there enough robots?
Future trends indicate that there will be a concentration on the collaboration of human and machine, simplified applications, and light-weight robots. We will also see an increased focus on modular robots and robotic systems, which will be marketed at exceptionally alluring prices.

How Dynamic Group Quadrupled Production Capacity with Collaborative Robots
This application produces a medical device with parts that are extremely heat sensitive, so cycle times have to be consistent from part to part.
Deep-Domain Conversational Artificial Intelligence
Conversational applications may seem simple on the surface, but building truly useful conversational experiences represents one of the hardest AI challenges solvable today.
