At the moment was a whirlwind of a day at Automatica 2022. We noticed so many wonderful new applied sciences and traits on the planet of robotics, from “The Way forward for Espresso Bars” to weightlifting robots.
Listed here are just some of the issues that knocked our socks off on Day 2 of the present.
Collaborative Robotic Welding? Robotics comes full circle
Some years in the past at Robotiq, we had an answer referred to as Kinetiq Instructing. This was an answer that used our Drive-Torque sensing expertise to assist you to “drive” your welding robotic by hand.
Properly… it appears we have been forward of the curve!
Now, there are a bunch of collaborative robotic welding options popping up in all places.
This resolution from Cobot Weldspace even has a demo the place you may check out programming the welding robotic for your self.Â
Although, do bear in mind {that a} welding robotic is just not inherently secure round individuals. It is effective for the programming, however when the welder activates, the individuals have to be out of the way in which
This welding resolution is so safety-conscious, it is appears to be inside a nuclear-style bunker!
The Way forward for Espresso Bars… and alcohol bars?
One highly regarded a part of Corridor B5 immediately was this robotic espresso bar as a part of the Kawasaki sales space B5.328.
You can order a espresso from 2 robotic baristas, which might then function the espresso machine. As you typed in your identify, there’s much less probability of the robots getting your identify unsuitable!
Although the robots nonetheless had a human helper available to ensure.
There was additionally a human helper for this robotic bartender we noticed.
Properly… you would not wish to depart individuals alone with a robotic that might serve you limitless quantities of beer!
A weightlifting robots exhibits off its payload capability
How do you exhibit the payload capability of your robotic. We have seen a few progressive approaches immediately.
This robotic on the Nachi sales space (B5.320) had a hologram, which confirmed a sequence of photos, together with its payload (you may have to observe the video above to get the complete impact).
However this Epson robotic has obtained to be probably the most distinctive methods to show payload – it was lifting weights! Properly, that’s how we people “exhibit our payload” is not it?
That is it for Day 2 at Automatica 2022
All in all, it has been a enjoyable day at Automatica. We have seen some cool functions of robotic expertise. The final development feels a bit extra “tentative” than earlier years, however persons are nonetheless recovering from the impacts of the pandemic.
We won’t wait to see what tomorrow brings!
