How Robotnik’s RB-KAIROS+ mobile manipulator can helps improve productivity in SMEs

April 6, 2022 by David Edwards Leave a Comment

A recent Roland Berger study, which analyses the impact of robotics in logistics, provides some interesting data in this regard.

It indicates a cost reduction of between 20 percent and 40 percent and an improvement in productivity of between 25 percent and 70 percent.

Increased production and cost reduction is already a reality for many small and medium-sized companies that are experiencing increased profitability and reduced production costs thanks to the automation of certain processes using mobile manipulators such as Robotnik’s RB-KAIROS+.

Fanuc launches new 1,000 kg payload industrial robotic arm

January 24, 2022 by David Edwards Leave a Comment

Fanuc America, the world’s largest maker of industrial robots, has introduced the new M-1000iA robot capable of handling very heavy products including automotive components, construction materials and battery packs for electric vehicles.

The M-1000iA’s serial-link construction gives the robot a wider range of motion in every direction. It can extend its arm upright or rotate it backwards, which is not possible for typical heavy-payload robots with a parallel-link mechanism.

With a 1,000 kg payload, a 3,253 mm horizontal reach, and a 4,297 mm vertical reach the M-1000iA is ready to go to work for manufacturers looking to increase output and maximize their production line’s efficiency. [Read more…] about Fanuc launches new 1,000 kg payload industrial robotic arm

Why is CNC Machining Essential to the Robotics Industry?

January 18, 2022 by Mark Allinson Leave a Comment

There is an increasing need for robots in all industrial areas. Thanks to technological advancements, robots are not ideas that exist only in movies.

These days, you can find robots everywhere, from airports to factories. Many manufacturing companies use robots due to their efficacy and speed in performing complex tasks.

Moreover, a robot will cost you less than how much you would pay for manual labor. All you need to do is provide effective servicing that will ensure the structure and functioning of your robot stays operational. [Read more…] about Why is CNC Machining Essential to the Robotics Industry?

Cleveland Clinic develops bionic arm that restores ‘natural behaviors’

September 2, 2021 by David Edwards Leave a Comment

Cleveland Clinic researchers have engineered a “first-of-its-kind bionic arm” for patients with upper-limb amputations that allows wearers to think, behave and function like a person without an amputation, according to new findings published in Science Robotics.

The Cleveland Clinic-led international research team developed the bionic system that combines three important functions – intuitive motor control, touch and grip kinesthesia, the intuitive feeling of opening and closing the hand.

Collaborators included University of Alberta and University of New Brunswick. [Read more…] about Cleveland Clinic develops bionic arm that restores ‘natural behaviors’
