Robotics and automation technology company Dürr and automaker BMW have won an award for developing a new robotic painting system.
The companies received the award for technique for their concept of a “smart paint shop” at the Surcar 2017 event in Cannes, France.
The jury at Surcar, which is said to be the world’s leading biennial congress on automotive body finishing, traditionally selects the winners for three awards. [Read more…] about Dürr and BMW win award for smart painting technique
An automated painting system, involving an industrial robot, is claimed to save significant resources by its developer, the Fraunhofer Institute.
The robotic system – called SelfPaint – is said by Fraunhofer to offer reductions of 20 percent in paint use, 15 percent in energy consumption and 5 percent in production time.
These are “significant advantages” compared to manual painting operations, which have previously been the preferred option, adds Fraunhofer. [Read more…] about New robotic painting system saves ‘significant’ resources, claims Fraunhofer

Industrial robots which are normally seen in factories making cars or some other heavy industrial object are increasingly shown as drawing or painting like artists.
These days, with ever-more powerful artificial intelligence software driving the robots, it’s difficult to say if there’s anything left that robots cannot do.
The big question is probably, “Is there anything that humans can do that robots cannot?”
