Three Myths About Implementing Mobile Robots

 

Autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) are self-navigating entities that dynamically move material through challenging environments, including narrow passages and peopled locations. Unlike traditional autonomously guided vehicles (AGVs), Omron AMRs require no facility modifications. This makes them a great option for businesses ready for a big transformation. Many companies are excited about the benefits of AMRs and are modifying their operational strategies to include this new technology. With different vendors and different integration strategies available, it’s important to consider which ones will make your investment a success.

Meet the New E-Series Cobot from Universal Robots Featuring a Built-In Force Torque Sensor

 

Meet the new e-Series Cobot from Universal Robots featuring a built-in force torque sensor. There are boundless applications this cobot can do, from packaging and palletizing to machine tending and assembly. Universal Robots produce a collaborative robotic arm that is commonly referred to as a “cobot”. It is extremely flexible and easy to use in the day-to-day production. It differs from anything else in the market because it is lightweight, simple for any non-robot expert to re-program, and is easily moved around production facilities. This creates possibilities for small and medium-sized companies to implement robots into their production without needing robot expertise within the company.
